I just went through this with my 65. I didn't want to pay the huge price quoted to restore to original finish. I spoke with my chrome shop, it turns out they run into this a lot with other makes on parts like grills. For $75 they chemically removed the anodize and polished everything - really nice! They recommend using those alum wheel cleaning cloths treated with alum cleaner a couple times a year. I asked about a clear coat but they did not know about adhesion on the polished surface, we agreed better if I leave as is and polish a couple times a year.
Good luck.
