I believe it is all anodized, no polish is gonna work. I know the grill shell is for sure.

It's anodized so no polish will bring out the luster until ya strip it. Do you really want to do that? All that means is it'll require polishing from here on out.

Okay, you have been warned. Use Easy-Off oven cleaner to strip the anodize coating and use a compounds on a buffing wheel to bring out the shine.

Btw, welcome to FTE.
