Polishing the aluminum on Wilbur

Well the front bumper is ready to bolt on after being blasted and repainted, but now I thought I would clean up the grill. Now if you ever saw the '73 Indian that Jeff from Seattle owns, you would know what I need to do. So I pick up 40 new screws to replace the rusty old screws that hold the grills on the front of Wilbur. I ended up making another trip to the True Value hardware store for another 40 screws before calling it a day. Here are some pictures of the process. The secret to the shiny aluminum is "SOS". Now I need to buy more SOS since there is none to be found in our house.The old screws
