    Diamond plate

    Anybody know a good way to shine these things up? Used black magic the other night, seemed to clean them, but i'm looking for a shine.

    Well you can use a buffer with metal polish OR do it by hand. You should be able to find everything you need at a parts store.

    Thanks. Wonder if it would work on uncoated aluminum wheels?

    I've tried every polish known to man for Aluminum and I'll go with GORD's Polish everytime. I've got diamond plate aluminum fenders on my tandem axle trailer, this stuff works wonders with little to no effort at all. It's available on line, just type in Gords Polish...................
