Polishing me checker plate

[heightswitch]

Typical. my shiny new rear crosmember cover doesn't now match the rest of the checker plate. You can see the difference between the new and the faded, slightly milky older panels. What is the best method to use in polishing checker plate? the bobbles make it hard to do manually any Ideas?

Presumably the new bit will age quite quickly with the amount of road dirt that gets thrown up the back, which is likely to contain salt before too long. Apart from that, some good metal polish, rags and a lot of time may be the only answer. A rotating power polisher with really soft pads would get into the crevices and bumps if carefully used, wouldn't it?

Is this some sort of euphamism?

I had the same dilemma for a short while after putting some new plate on the landy. Gave up trying in the end and let it just rot a bit. Looks just like the rest now
