It's a alumacraft invader that's a dark blue color. What's the best way to make it shine ?

Is the paint just oxidized or something? If so, a mild rubbing compound and some elbow grease (or a rotary buffer) should bring it back around.


If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!

It's just kinda dull looking. Seeing if wax or something would help. Thanks for the info

I had an old Alumacraft Phantom and after ten years it was dull and ugly. We taped it off sanded it down and painted it using an etching primer and an expensive automotive paint. It looked like new.
