[Roadsters] Door sills

[ncoonen at fastbears.com]

Use a paste type aluminum/metal polish. Mother's and Meguiar's have such products (Google them). If you don't want to buy something special for just those pieces, I would try whatever kind of polishing compound you might have on hand. This won't work well if the pieces are badly corroded but otherwise, you'll get a shine. Careful use of fine steel wool will help with corrosion. I would avoid sandpaper at all costs.

Good luck...ned.
