Tail Light Bezel

I saw a video on YouTube where a guy used Hair & Grease drain cleaner to remove the anodized coating from the aluminum trim and though that I'll give it a try on a extra pair of bezels.

The first photo is what I had to deal with. You can see the bezel is more white instead of bright shinny aluminum. I used a spray trigger from a bottle to spray the drain cleaner and let it sit for 5 minutes using a scrub pad to keep things wet. I hosed the bezels off with a garden hose and dried them with a towel. Next I polished the bezel with Mother's Mag Wheel polish. The next 4 photos are the results. The last photo is after a second treatment. I will go back and spray the bezels with clear coat for protection.
