re: oxidation on grill
Hurley, everyone seems to be asking the same question (including me). Here's the site link: http://www.fordification.com/trim-polishing.htm
I just took mine off my new 68 and I think I will give it a try. There's more questions and comments here in this forum a few postings down.

re: oxidation on grill
Have you tried wading compound? It works fair I'd say. Not as good as stripping off the anodized coating and getting it buffed out and recoated.

Doug:
Here is a thread where we talked about this previously. There are also before and after pictures of my grill using wadding compound.

Re; how to buff out an aluminum grill;
did any one ever try a buffing wheel on a grinder with some polishing compound? Seems like an obvious answer. Doesnt this work on those aluminum grilles?
