Cleaning up and polishing aluminum

I was a little dismayed by some of the beatings that my paneling had taken while we trial fitted and removed, and fit back on and removed again the various bits on to the car. So I decided to take a poke at cleaning up the aluminumi cladding in the driver side wheel well. A little compounding followed by a finish polish with a DA and here's what we have. This started out as mill finish aluminum which was about as reflective as concrete.
