Brushed Aluminum Trim

**Skysfalling** · 10-26-2011 11:48 AM

I have a nearly 6-year-old brushed aluminum trim in my car. Over the years, it has faded and been scratched here and there. Is there a way to fix it up and make it look new again? Input would be greatly appreciated.

you could always wrap it with fabric or vinyl. or send it to matt at ocarbon

Thanks for the responses. I actually read those threads, but would prefer to keep my fishscaled look. I also dont want to spend 10-12 hours on this project. Any products that can be used to renew the shine and eliminate scratches that will also retain the original finish?

Easy answer....No.

Seriously, wrap it, spray it, sand it, or send it, that's it.

What product is going to remove a physical scratch???
You can replace, or sand down and then have audi re-laser etch the fish scale back in...
And fish-scale isn't considered brushed...
I thought reading those threads you would have gathered that though
