Jim,
The grill in polished Aluminum. If it is not too bad, use Simichrome Polish.
If it is bad, you will need a buffing tool with flexible shaft and mini
Buffing Bob Cylinders or Cones to get to all the areas. Use a Buffing compound
such as Tripoli and then White Rouge.

This is my first attempt at posting here, so if I screw up....
(Actually this is #2, I think I initially used the wrong address, so please
excuse me if both actually appear)
1) There is a very detailed "how to" article on truing wire wheels, in the
Tech area of the MG section of SOL.
2) I need to refurbish a TR4A grille, and have several questions:
Is it plated or polished?
If polished, does anyone have any suggestions about polishing aluminum?
On the 4A, what parts, (if any) were painted flat black? I know the 5/250
painted different (more?) areas, like the "tops" of the horizontal bars,
but I don't think the 4a was like this.
Thanks.
