I would not return the original polish on principle. It seems to have done its job adequately. That post wasn’t going to shine like m_sasso’s unless it got some sanding before polishing.
The only details appear to be inside the flutes and those don’t need sanding. But you are right not to want to sand over details. My Campy posts just get minimal sanding on engraved logos before polishing.
