Their aluminum, not really supposed to shine brightly, best way is to take them to an aluminum plater and have them re? ? damn, can't think of the process >>>>> anodized??? I think, Ramz will know he had his done. |

The headlight bezels are anodized. Its a coating that makes the aluminum much stiffer than it would be. Downside is you cant polish the aluminum anymore. Ive heard Easy-Off oven cleaner will remove it. Ive never tried it but I heard it works from several different people.
Once you remove the anodize you can polish them all day long.

I just purchased four of these as my old ones were out of round and dented. These new ones were round and dent free, but somewhat dull.
I polished them with a chrome/stainless polisher I purchased in the local auto parts store. I'm at work and don't have the name, but it worked GREAT. They went from dullish to bright and shiny, and took 5 minutes. I'll get the name later.

The polish I used was Turtle Wax premium chrome and metal polish. $6.98.
As I said, buckets went from dull and old looking to bright and shiny. I used brillow to clean them before using the polish. Granted they don't look perfect like RAMZ's, but close enough.
RAMZ, How much did it cost to have those done?
