V6 sub frame looking a bit dull

Car  Clio V6 and Ford Mondeo
I have a Mk2 vee 6 and the silver sub frame at the front and rear looks a bit dirty and dull, i have had a go with metal polish but it is not smooth so does not really do anything, I have also tried washing it with car shampoo but still no good, anyone got any ideas ??
 
To make 8oz/225g aluminium cleaner

8 tablespoons cream of tartar
8 tablespoons (baking soda) bicarbonate of soda
4fl oz/ 115ml white vinegar
4 tablespoons soap flakes

Combine the cream of tartar and baking soda in a medium-size bowl. Add the vinegar and mix until the ingredients form a soft paste. Add the soap flakes. Transfer to a jar or bottle with a secure lid and label it clearly.

To use, apply with a steel wool pad, then rinse off with warm water. Store out of the reach of children. It should keep for 1-2 years.

I was actually looking thinking

"Wheres his engine :S did he take it out just to clean the bay..."

Then i realised :P


/Self fail
 
the front and rear sub frames have been galvanised. very difficult to clean.
i gave mine a coat of paint so it`s a bit easier to keep clean.
