    Default cleaning

    well, i just bought some strut bars from SpoolNSlide(who is a great seller), the strut bars are great, but they need cleaning, i don't have a camera so i can't take pics, they just look oxidized i guess, anyone know how to clean them?

    use mean green and scrub them first, then try Smith Brite polish, black label followed by red label... best way to polish up old oxidized aluminum that ive found...
