I have polished aluminum parts that I made. The worst piece was some aluminum pipe that had hung outside at the plant I work at for 35+ years. It was very oxidized when I started. I don't see brushing a car as bad as you all describe, but I do appreciate how do you keep everything going the same direction on this body shape. If some metal does need filled here and there, I am no aluminum welder. I can weld steel, but aluminum I never even tried. Given the value of the car, I agree this is something you do not want to screw up. So I think this is too much to bite off for me.
