    Bumpers any chrome polish from Autogeek will probably work fine.

    As for anodized trim I normally just get it re anodized so it looks correct. I'm sure you could wet sand it and polish it with aluminum polish,but the look and feel would not fit a restoration. I guess it depends on your end goal.

    Million YouTube videos on this

    Seems like they all use a buffing wheel and rouge

    Interesting how much can be done to restore dented, damaged metal trim

    The tiny anvil they use made me chuckle

    Re: 1963 Galaxie aluminum trim

    Is it anodized or stainless steel trim ? My experience with a 63 1/2 fastback Galaxie was stainless trim and quite common in that era.
