Hard to believe it.

You know what blows? The website PHOTOGRAPHS are CHEESY!
Looks like they took the photos with a pocket camera!
Man; they need to ditch the cheesy website look and get those
BAM! IN YOUR FACE photos! to make the point!
A bit pricey too!

Otherwise; wow; real nice

This product is basically a paint remover that exposes the aluminum below the clear coat. The clear cost is not an absolute coating it is is cracked and porous that is why the aluminum spots are not removed with a metal cleaner. It may work but does the product re-coat the metal or leave it bare.

You can do the same thing on silver anodized aluminum with oven cleaner. Just let the oven cleaner sit on there for for a couple of hours and wipe off, walla, faded oxidized anodized finish gone, clear aluminum left behind.

The anodized coating was originally on there to protect the aluminum. Unfortunately, when the anodized protective coating deteriorates you can't just polish it like raw aluminum. Using oven cleaner (and probably the product mentioned above) removes the anodizing and leaves the shiny unmolested aluminum that can now be polished. If you want a more permanent solution, I guess you can remove the trim and have it chrome plated.

Shouldn't the coating be there, will it hurt the trim to have it uncoated. If not im going to strip it and just leave it. If I wanted to put a coating on there where can I get it? Thanks
