I heard somebody describe in a post on here a while back, but can't find it now, some chemical or solution used to make your black anodized aluminum parts shine or look better w/out buffing or the use of abrasives.
any one here have any idea what to use or what was mentioned?

There is a cleaning product call Never Dull. Its a silver can with something like a wad of cotten with the chemical in it. That works pretty well. Others have said Penetrol works.
