Looks great! I tried to polish some of the aluminum parts on my bike and I have to tell you I have no patience for it. It takes a lot of work to get that aluminum to shine like that. It sure does look good though.

Yeah at one time I used to use chrome polish on anything shinny, but now you read the directions and there are all kinds of warnings about not using it on this or that. I don't know what is clear coated and what is not these days so I'm scared to try to polish anything for fear of messing it up.
