You are VERY welcome! :) Along with Dave, I too have used this trick for years. Enviro friendly and it kind of makes people think your nuts.

For bare aluminum Gord's Metal Polish or Zephyr. For final polishing white diamond or the mothers brand you displayed (OP) or anything that is white in color.

If it is defect removal you are after than you must use appropriate buffs and rotory buffers. It is very hard and time consuming to remove defects by hand.

Here is a time tested trick, if you have black tag left in the pitting or scratched areas, rub corn starch or white flour into the metal with a soft cotton cloth and the black with disappear without scratching the surface. Then seal with your favorite brand.

Yes White Diamond can be found in truck stops. I make my own metals polish but have tried these brands and for over the counter, they work good.
