Question
I own a 68 cadillac that has two alum panels in the center of the rear bumber. One is near perfect shape and the other has been dented up. Can these be restored? If so, can you recommend someone. What would you recommend to polish other aluminum parts on the car?

Thanks, Steve

Answer
Hi Steve, It depends on how badly dented the part is. You might check with this company and see what they can do for you: http://www.alltrim.com

As far as polish I would use a good metal polish like Zephyr Pro 40.

I hope this helps you.
