Polished aluminium

We once had a rather beautiful aluminum fruit bowl which became very discoloured and pitted probably because of citrus fruit. I tried polishing it with ordinary metal polish and made it 100 times worse. It looked so awful that it was added to the recycling box. This little polished aluminum boat just get a slight dust with a soft cloth to keep it smooth.

The reflected colours come from kitchen tiles. a pottery storage jar, my jacket and a pair of yellow washing up gloves.
