Default Cleaning anodized aluminum?

Hello,

I am in the process of sprucing up a classic automobile, and need some
advice about the anodized aluminum trim. The vehicle is 27 years old
and has lived by the sea (in Southern CA) for its entire life. As a
result, the anodized aluminum trim has developed a cloudy haze. Can
anybody offer any suggestions on cleaning/polishing this type of
aluminum back to its original clarity? Is the only real solution to
use a mild abrasive (Autosol or similar) metal polish to remove the
anodized layer, and then keep it laquered regularly so that corrosion
won't set in? What about products like Nevr-Dull? Any advice or
direction is appreciated. Thanks.

Matt
