Its all anodized aluminum so just be cautious what you use with it, reg car soap and wax. I know some people use oven cleaner or something like that to remove discolored and spotted anodizing but it leaves the aluminum unprotected. Dave, IIRC you worked where they re-chromed, did they re-anodize as well?

I 2nd that, and with aluminum i used oven cleaner to strip it back to its bare essentials and then I polished it back up with my polishing wheels and rouge then I finished it with Mothers aluminum polish.
I havent tried that on a crown vic yet but it worked wonders on the old 73 Capri we got.

no we dident do anodiseing, but we can chrome aluminum,
I use 3M chrome polish..expensive but it works great, especially on heavily tarnished chrome, just dont rub too hard on good chrome, or it'll leave microscratches which arn't real pretty in the sun
