Pulled mine today and cleaned it up with a wire brush on my drill . Looks a lot better to me . Just wondered how you fellas clean this or do you paint it ? Must be Stainless or aluminum ? I know you can buy a new one but I'm kinda cheap and my tractor will never make a parade . THANKS !!

Originally they were aluminum.  I tried cleaning an old one up years ago and was thoroughly disappointed.  I then started making new ones out of brushed stainless steel.  A couple of years later, the aftermarket started making new ones from stainless too.  Not as good as the ones I made, but they are priced cheaper than when I made them.  For the time it took me to make one, it is now easier to buy one. 
A metal wire wheel spinning on a drill basically ends up scratching the softer aluminum.  Machine turned swirls is what they originally had.
