Hi sorry for late reply, I'm using aluminium polish paste blue and white and drill with disc made from felt. Also see my previous reply that never show up.
Hi,
I have used waterproof sanding paper, 800, 1500 then polishing paste for aluminium with felt ring attached too ordinary drill. It takes like one hour to make one part like seat post shine like new.
This is the set I'm using here in Norway, but I'm sure U can buy similar anywhere.
