I'd like to see a pic too. I'm working on the aluminum Chev emblem on mine now. So far #000 steel wool has done a decent job brightening the bare areas after which I carefully used a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser clean it up and the rounded end of a screwdriver to press out the dents.
Might still go back into it with some finer steel wool.
