As for metal polishing, here's what I did on the tail pipe of an S2000 at the Meguiar's clinic a bunch of us SoCal Crossfire owners attended recently. This was about 5 minutes work with Meguiar's Hot Rims Mag & Aluminum Polish. Not bad, huh?
I love that stuff...it's such a fine polish too, it's great on other items that are soft, like plastics (think headlights and tail lights).
