The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Best grit sandpaper for "freshening up" aluminum

Czechman, reckon I will have to remove the trim? Or can I wipe this stuff on with a rag? I have placed an order. I have seen people use oven cleaner to remove stuff from exhaust pipes of another kind of vehicle with less wheels than a truck of which I happen to own several of, but was told I couldn't mention them on this forum by a moderator or risk being censored as this is a truck forum. I always thought oven cleaner to caustic and if you accidently hit the paint you were in deep dodo, this product seems to be water based.Thanks everyone for their comments. The previous owner said he did it with a certain grit sandpaper. I have tried 2000 grit to no avail.
