There is a far better product currently available for polishing than that green stuff, it is called "Met-All" and is by far the easiest polishing paste I have ever used to clean aluminum. However, finding Met-All may not be as easy as it use to be.
I believe Lowes Hardware may have it - depending on the region you live in, but you can find it on the Internet in a 16oz metal can as a paste for $7.00 at:
http://shop.store.yahoo.com/
It has a 100% Money-back guarantee from manufacturer with product return and proof of purchase!
MET-ALL INDUSTRIES Div. of Aman & Co.Inc. 231 LOCUST ST S CANAL FULTON, OH (330)854-1122
