You'll have to use some sort of cleaner to remove all of the oxidation
buildup. If you have access to a buffer, I bought one from Wal Mart, and
was totally surprised at the results. You can use a polishing agent, I
prefer the liquid polish as opposed to the ole paste polishing compound. A
good cleaning and wax will bring some of the shine back. I use Macquires
for everything--good stuff.... wayne
