I just picked up another customer yesterday and he has a 99 Chevy Silverado and its caked with dust from construction. I got the paint detail handled (wash,clay,DACP,#7,#16) but what is the best thing to use on one of those toolboxes that goes in the bed? Its polished aluminum diamondplate. I was thinking of using a crapload of nevrdull, but that would be alotta work. Any suggestions?
 
I have heard of people using wool pads (on the pc or whatever.. maybe rotary even) to polish it. I dont know what metal polish you would use, but a wool pad would make it a whole lot easier.

I have had nice results with the whitpad that came with the PC and PB Pro Polish.

I have never used it on Diamond Plate, but I would think that PP would work great.
 
I popped on an old 3m wool pad that I had laying around and busted out the Meguiars metal polish, brightened it in some places, but it didn't really do much. Is there any really agressive metal polish out there? I cant seem to get all the oxidization and what not off of the metal with the Meg's.
