What's a quick easy inexpensive way to clean off my gunnels and some
other
exposed aluminum on my Lund boat? Get a buffing wheel for my drill or
grinder? Some grinding compound? Some chemical?

BoeShield works pretty good(Boeing stuff)
There's also...

NEVR-DULL is some good stuff. Don't know about aluminum, but it polishes
most anything else.
Just like chrome - it's great but can't perform miracles!

I ain't expecting miracles, just some equivalent to funeral makeup..........

Know whut uh mean, Vern?

Well, if you buy a can of Nevrdull and it doesn't work all that well on aluminum, it'll work on most
other things, so you've not wasted your money. I've even used it on small scratches in the paint on
my motorcycle, followed up with 'Finesse it' by 3M if necessary.

Paint scratches? Got some really big bugs in your 'hood?
