I am restoring a 1984 Southwind O/B and the Bow
(grab) rails really need some help. I have tried buffing them, even tried steelwool not much improvement at all. They appear to be aluminum. If anyone has had any luck bringing some back to life I would appreciate some direction.
Thanks,
Gary

After much trial and error I tried Mothers Aluminum Polish with a 120 grit 3m sanding pad and the rails came out great.
