The Mother's stuff Cliff mentioned is really good at polishing, but it will get you more of a mirror like finish. To get the satin look may be tough. Maybe polish well, then wipe down with a paint prep solvent and spray on a satin lacquer? I think that is how some of the guys who do classic motorcycles do it.


You would need an adhesion promoter like House of Kolor AP01 on the aluminum first before clearcoat.
