Default Polishing anodized aluminum

I have a MCI9. It has an anodized aluminum skin. I was wondering if anyone could recomend a product to shine it up. Something that won't mess up the anodization.

:D Hi MC19. The following applies to Anodixed Aluminium on boats. But it should also apply to your RV:-

ALWAYS

Clean often, and do it thoroughly. Wash often to keep contaminates from forming or building up. Clean anodized aluminum with Yacht Brite Brite Wash® and water, soft towel or sponge is recommended. Rinse thoroughly and completely with direct fresh water. The important point is to clean and rinse your anodized aluminum well! When using metal protection products, be sure they are formulated for anodized aluminum.

NEVER

Use bleach or chlorides. They have a tendency to leach on the aluminum, which could lead to staining and pitting. Use abrasive cleaning products. Never use steel or brass wool, wire brushes, polishing wheels, rubbing or polishing compounds. These items will remove the anodizing and lead to pitting. Use concentrated alkaline base solutions, many detergents fall into this category

I think JSW, pretty much summed it up, I can't think of anything to ad to his reply.

Happy RVing!
