Default Making old aluminum look new, mani, dist, crap like that...

Anyone know the best way to make get that "salty" look off the textured aluminum parts without getting everything too shiny? I don't want a polished look but a stock "out of the box" look on the mani, head, tranny and dist. Any ideas and or pics would be helpful. Thanks.

stained aluminium doesnt really come clean that well. You'll be better off just going to get some duplicolor "aluminium" color paint.
