    Aside from professional bench polishing... I have found the best thing to use on my Kirbys when polishing by hand is Mothers Aluminum polish - found in the automotive detailing section of most stores like Wal-Mart etc.. I tried Flitz, the 0000 grade steel wool, and it just didn't give it the...

    Kirby D-80

    pics.. i'll try to get some shots of it this weekend... I'm almost convinced they put one of the newer Heritage/Legend styled motors in it.
