    was trying to polish lip of a car today but after i tried couple things it seemed to haze the finish a little,
    things i tried

    CG metal wax on orange pad (probably was mistake) but it worked great on other aluminum piece from same car

    Opt metal polish, worked the best but still not good enough on blue pad with PC

    mothers aluminum polish on uber blue pad with PC

    P21S finish restorer, didnt do anything

    even tried 85rd on blue pad and didnt do anything

    SpecC Wax on..Wax off

    i like the p21s metal polishes
    polishing soap is the one i have
    finish restorer seems to be good too

    ^polishing soap is too aggressive, finish restorer didnt do anything it seems

    Have you tried a good AIO like XMT360/Poli-seal? I find that either of those two really polish up softer metals without leaving any marring behind and they also clean out the oxidised metal and lay down some protection in the process.
