Does anyone have a way to refinish these? I can clean up the bright part with #0000 steel wool but I'm wondering how to restore or at least touch up the woodgrain.Thanks.

i have one that needs redone also. i ahd considered putting some woodgrain contact paper over it. but i know it wouldn't look right.

Brown shoe polish? Seems to me I remember someone doing that on the woodgrain trim on an LTD.

I don't know if I'd use 0000 steel wool on that, if it is aluminum. I do not know what it is myself, but if it is chromed steel you can use 0000 steel wool on it, but I believe steel wool will (edited for spelling, should have used spell check?) scratch the finish on aluminum.

The aluminum has some corrosion on it now so the scratches really won't hurt it.
