Would like to have Very Good Condition and some NOS 70' Camaro Headlight Bezels
polished with minor scratches removed. Do not care about replacing the Brite Dip Anodizing that is currently in place.

Chuck - Are you implying that it would be OK if the anodized "layer" is removed for good? That's what would have to happen on a anodized alum piece....once the scratch, etc occurs the "defect" has likely scratched through the anodized layer. Can't really be "blended", etc with sanding since that would just open up a larger area where the anodizing is removed. Anodizing hardens the aluminum to a certain depth.

Accordingly, all the anodizing would have to be removed and then any scratches, etc dealt with. Then the piece becomes a "maintenance" item requiring periodic waxing or polishing.

Best bet would be to have the whole pieces redone. Possibly VERY REASONABLE price-wise due to the lack of heavy/numerous scratches.
