mothers take too long. I use a spray on aluminum brightener called "albrite" , let it set for 3 minutes then powerwash it off. works fantastic on anything aluminum, track, tunnel, etc. then I rub it down with a standard car wax to keep it shinning all season long.

Ispray (mix 50/50 with water and put in garden sprayer) the whole sled. It also seems to brighten the painted areas as well. rinse it well then wax it and looks brand new.

Did a 79 Jag 340 with this stuff and was amazed how well it works. Bought the liquid gold in cleveland, Ive got the name of the place if you are interested. I love the stuff. Iuse it once a year on the cars, dirt bikes and four wheelers

sulfamic acid. got it from a car detailer in cleveland. proof is in the pudding. when i heard acid i was a liitle scared but then i educated myself on the stuff. makes an old sled look new with very little work. even removes rust. wicked stuff.

I'm a fan of Mothers for anything aluminum - used it on the sleds before putting them away last season, and they look great. Of course, I'm also one that loves waxing her car completely by hand, so I don't mind putting in the 'extra' work.
