Just wondered if anyone knows a way to get this part back to looking good? I have tried very fine wet and dry but that left a mat finish. I have tried abrasive polish as in T-cut but that didn't do much. I am sure someone on here has restored this type of metal before.....

Not all of these alloys will polish to a shine. I have had Mills Hi Tops where I have managed to polished the castings to a pleasant brightness and a higher set that stay dull irrespective on whether using a polishing wheel with soaps or wire wool... I have never seen Clubmaster trays shiny ever unless someone decided to chrome - not always a good idea.

I don't really need it to shine, just get the stains out.

I have never used sandpaper on this type of item, but use wire wools reducing the fineness with polishing compounds. Only using polishing wheel if high shine is possible as they are bloody messy....there could be staining in the metal itself of course

I use Autosol metal polish on loads of stuff and always have a good result.

totally agree,but don't be put off at first,it looks scary when you start but it will work

Thank you for that. I have both wire wool and Autosol.....

I have used fine wire wool and Autosol on aluminium castings with great results.

I just remembered this post in the past. The cashtray of my Clubmaster had the top being painted green. I took it off with gel stripper and discovered the metal was brighter at some places when the paint was removed. The tray was about as dull as the first picture in this topic. I decided to use the stripper carefully on the dull tray and it came out not so bad I think.

Very nice Dutchboy, better than anything I have

You can get your stains out by using a medium emery cloth.
