This can be done on the RD, however - see below - but you'll still have some areas you're just not really going to be able to get at.

However, you can get great results by simply stripping the anodizing in a bath of Jestco Products anodizing remover, clearing the residue with 0000 brass wool and then taking the body to a buffing wheel.
