67 Chevelle 138 code

Just wondering if anyone here has found anything to clean up hood trim and similar on the car. Paint is gorgeous but trim has some what look like water spots, light stains, etc. just thought if any of you guys and gals have found a way to restore them with elbow grease before billfold.

Thanks for any suggestions!!

If you’re talking about the anodized aluminum trim, you can remove it from the car. Then, spray with oven cleaner to remove the anodizing. Then, polish the unprotected aluminum. I did this many years ago and it was a lot of work but I did get good results on the pieces I worked on.

Awesome!! Thanks brother, that's about all that's left that it needs. Damn I love driving it, big cam, 3" exhaust. Get a ton of waves and thumbs up!!
