    Cleaning and polishing metal window frames

    Anyone have any suggestions on how to get a like new shine on my original E35 window frames. I assume they are aluminum. Not sure. The windows don't leak so I'm not sure I want to replace them but I know new ones would really make the new deck pop. Any suggestions? Thanks

    E29 Small window replacement

    Has anyone replaced the original portlights on an E29 with new units? I pulled out the small salon portlight (14"x6") yesterday. So far I've located two vendors: Lewmar and New Found Metals. Both companies make a window that is close in size to the original and screened. I prefer an openable...
