Back-To-Black for black anodized aluminum?

[Old Guy8]

I used some abrasive free auto wax on a black anodized aluminum amp. Unfortunately looked blotchy afterward. I wanted some shine and maybe protection from oxidation.

So found an old bottle of Mothers Back -To-Black auto trim treatment. Claims to remove oxidation, dirt and wax on vinyl, plastic, trim and wiper blades. Contains alcohols. Metal is not specifically mentioned. I applied avoiding any painted lettering. And polished off. Blotchy wax removed and now shiny. I doubt this will give lasting protection from oxidation on aluminum.

Anyone else found a product for shine on anodized black aluminum?

Sorry I had to...

Anodized aluminium is oxidized - it's part of the process.
"Aluminum anodizing is the electrochemical passivation process by which the surface layer of an aluminum substrate is converted into an aluminum oxide layer."

Of course your right. My error.
I should restate. I'd like a shiny, bright even finish look.

I know that this is made for vinyl rubber plastic and it works great on tires and faded automotive trim but it also works awesome on metals.
I've used it restore the color and sheen of our outdoor patio furniture and aluminum gazebo. It dries non tacky and has lasted months on our outdoor furniture so far.
I think I would try it, it beats the black on black by far and I used that for our vehicles the last few years until I found the VRP.
