<VV> Polishing rocker trim

[Rick Norris]

Eastwood has a nice product that removes anodizing and is reusable. I have 
some and it works well.
The polished aluminum can be protected by a product called Zoopseal which is 
good. I use it on my polished aluminum wheels and it's lasted over a year on 
the 67 vert.
. There are several others but I have no experience with them.
