SLS AMG Aluminum sill covers
If you have the aluminum sill covers they will tarnish over time. They are not coated and easy to hand polish in minutes. I do it around every two years.

@Baybear

I have this and it must be 12 years old ..still works like a champ. Im sure any aluminum polish will do.




works great the exhaust tips too

right side of photo is clean side





PS do not use on the “fins” on the hood and side sills. Those are plastic.
