Very happy with the results and accomplishment.
    Also anxious to see results.
    Typically even 0000 steel wool removes the clear anodizing and doesn’t yield original high luster finish.

    Wish I took photos of my door pocket restoration before I sold the ‘72. The trims definitely came out better than before. Used the #0000 steel wool with dishwashing soap and water so it was not too harsh on the finish. I plan to do more in the future and will definitely document with photos.
