Door sills? Absolutely. Or wax them twice a day....Those would have been anodized aluminum so unfortunately you can clean them up fairly easily but it won't last unless reanodized if I'm not mistaken.
I was going to ask him about them when I went to pick up the trim and bumper.A shop should be able to restore them... Didnt you send your trim to a guy? He cant do it?
Thanks for tip on the woody wax product. Is soda blasting the only medium to use for blasting? I have the buffer and plenty of clear but not a soda blaster.As an ex-Harley owner with friends building show bikes, I have only bad news.
Restoring them requires soda blasting, tons of buffing, and clear coating. Which is what a polish shop would do.
Option 2: Woody Wax. Not nearly as good but better than nothing.

It only cleans what you have. It doesn't restore it.
They explain it better than I ever could.

I checked and to no surprise no one is making a replica door sill for my 300. Mine are nicked up pretty bad. I was able to clean them up to a certain level rubbing them with aluminum foil and soapy water. What have you guys done? Can a polish shop actually restore them to a certain level?View attachment 11278
It they are not corroded to badly then XXX steel wool soaked with brake clean will clean them up nicely. I've had good luck with this process. The trick is to get the years of dirt out of the scratches and pores of the metal....
The Brakleen will remove the anodizing so you will either have to stay on top of them and polish once a month or get them re-anodized.
Nope, afraid not. I feel like a complete dumbass compared to all you guys.Damn it! Everyone on this board is smarter than me :frozen tongue:
Never said stupid, what are you implying?
