T-Top cleaning /restoration

Does anyone have a good way to get rid of oxidation and pitting on t-tops? Can you just polish it out with a mild abrasive? I've tried some of the available cleaners any they haven't done much.

Thanks

I have had some success using 3M Imperial Rubbing Compound. You dont want to use too much for too long or you will cut through the anodize coating which protects the aluminum from saltwater corrosion. If the top is far gone, you might be better off having it powder coated. In this area, we get tops done for around 350.00. Hope this helps.
