The Aluminium indicator badges I had off Buckley06 are starting to tarnish a bit and a normal wash etc. isn't getting them clean. How are others who bought them keeping them clean, what product are you using?

Just done mine today with autosol, wire wool and a microfibre. However, the ones I have are from his first batch that didn’t come anodised and I took the clear coat off before I put them on the car as it was peeling off anyway so mine are bare metal

Now I've seen those I'm in 2 minds whether to just clean mine or go the whole way and try and polish them up.
