moulding around the rear glass

Did any years Maverick have stainless trim around the rear glass; (above the deck lid), or were they all aluminum?

 

All my Mavericks have had the same trim, aluminium .

 

I can't get mine to polish out to suit me. I about to paint my 75 model 2dr and am wondering how it would look painted body color?

 

mmb member "rthomas771" taught me to use this product from Home Depot:

It removes the oxidation... then afterwards just follow-up with a metal polish suited for aluminum. Works GREAT!

Here is a youtube link demonstrating the use of both products:

Hope this helps!

 

X2 the stuff in the brown jug works well. Used it to do my tail lights. If its real bad you need to add water. The water reacts with the potasium/sodium hydroxide to work better. Be careful, it producds hydrogen gas. And don't use an aluminium pan. I filled kitchen garbage can with water and dumped in a bottle. Take out rinse whipe down good and repeat till all the coating is gone.

 

I went from this...to this in less than 10 minutes. This stuff is magic

 

Thanks Guys, I will go to Home Depot tomorrow.

 

That is awesome! Im inspired to pull all my aluminum trim off! Thanks!

 

Be careful with it.(the hair and grease remover) It worked great on my taillight bezels but actually ate through a set of headlight bezels.

 

I used it on my rear glass aluminum trim will good results

 

Excellent idea. Anyone tried it on bumpers?

 

Won't work on bumpers, what it does is it removes the anodizing so you can get at the aluminium and polish it.

 

Don't work on chrome. I saw on Myth Busters that Coke and aluminum foil works better on chrome than the high dollar chrome cleaner

 

Ahh, okay. Thanks!
