The trim pieces that go on the back of my roof - you know the expensive ones - have surface scratches on them. The scratches aren't deep enough to catch a fingernail, but they are just bad enough to make the piece look like hell next to my new paint job. What can be done to refurb these pieces? If I polish these with a buffing wheel and rouge will the anodization be taken off? Can these be re-anodized without breaking the bank? Anybody know a place in the San Francisco area that does anodization?

While I'm at it, the trim pieces that go around the windshield look a little bent. Are these available new?
