If the clear anodizing has turned cloudy, there isn't much you can do with it except maybe strip it, polish the aluminum, and have it recoated.

I tried like heck to shine up a 78 Dodge truck grille and nothing would bring it back without stripping the anodizing.



And to that, easy off oven cleaner in the yellow can, can be used to strip the old stuff off. Usually takes a few applications. Then the polishing can begin.

Also, that coating really helps protect against normal road debris. I spent alot of time stripping and polising the grill trim on my Dart and very shortly after, I had little tiny dig marks in it--esentially rock chips. It still looked way better than it was before, but you could not run a smooth polish cloth over it without it snagging a burr.
