I was wondering if anyone can tell me how and some tips on polish/cleaning aircraft aluminum? I want to clean some parts up, but I do NOT want that mirror shine finish. I just want to rid the dirt and smudges and make the surface smoother.

Someone totally oblivious on all the in's and outs of working aircraft aluminum,
Nate

Sounds like a plan! Thanks for the tips!

Start with the white or gray scotchbrite, don't just jump right in with the brown stuff.

Won't be cheap,, but Acid Etch will clean them up good, just be sure to rinse well.

That stuff the tanker truckers use isn't expensive. Google Aluma Bright.

or this stuff:
