*** If you start by wet-sanding with 1200-grit sandpaper, and follow up
with Mother's Aluminum Polish, you will attain a high sheen.  If you
finish up with Simichrome polish, it'll be like a mirror.  

                          BUT
                          
  The polished surface will shortly fade and tarnish, and they'll look just
  like they did.  If you want them to stay shiny, have'em chrome plated.
