Trying to figure out a good way to clean up this grill and get some of the dents and scratches out. Most of the anodizing has worn off, but there is still some in hard to reach areas. I have taken advice and used Mothers polish, as well as testing some 1000 grit sandpaper in a small area, but I am just not happy with the results. I figure it would probably be a no-no to paint it... Maybe I just need to live with it the way it is? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

This is for Stainless trim, so may need to swap to a milder "aluminum" polishing compound.

Post 7 in this thread shows the best polished grill I have seen.

Good luck, Rg

So, with a little polish and some paint, here's what I came up with. Overall I am pretty happy with it!

Looks great, nice work.
