Is it aluminum? If it is aluminum, to get it bright again you'll likely have to strip the anodizing off and then polish the aluminum to get it shiny. After that, the challenge is protecting the surface to keep it from oxidizing. If it is stainless, then it should hole a polish much longer than raw aluninum.

I bought a set of Harbor Fright buffing wheels and a stainless stick for the stainless on my Ford.... works mint. Anything anodized, like others suggest, would have to be completely stripped and clear anodized.
