I used the Sledbrite Cleaner and Polish on the Aluminum this year. Very Impressive Results!

I had to buy it On-line though as it wasn't available locally. I recommend it!

On a second thought all tunnels painted black like on my backcountry doo !

I actually hate the black tunnels. My 99 indy 500, 99 xc 700, and 05 xc sp 500 ALL have black tunnels. They get SOO dirty so quick. Any little bit of dirt on the trails makes the boards all dirty. Then, when you get dirt on it, you rub it all over the boards and it wears the paint off. Just my opinion I guess...

I have used all the different polishes. I found the best thing to do is clean with an SOS pad to clean. I used real fine steel wool to put the polish on a few times. You will need one of those mothers power balls to buff it. And as many red rags as you can find. Go to Youtube and search Gords Aluminum Polish just to get an idea how to do it. I used his polish but they all seemed to work the same but he had a good method.

but snow sticks to raw alloy more than paint.
