Genuine Alloy Bullbar

Hey guys,
Would any of you know what product works best to polish the alloy bullbar to make it like a mirror? I use mothers all metal polish and a mothers powerball that you attach to a power drill and get a near mirror finish but it is still a bit hazy. And it doesn't last very long when it gets outside. cheers.

There is a product easily available from Big W or Supercheap called "Briteshine" it comes in a yellow tin.
I find that pretty good for polished Aluminium in general.

Hope this helps mate,

Rich.

Rich, Your are spot on. Just went out today and bought a new tin as the one I bought about 10 years ago finally ran out. It's the grass.

Just wondering, to keep the mirror finish longer, is there something to use as a top coat, maybe varnish or a 2 pack epoxy? Something that'll keep the air out and thus stop oxidation?
