it's only been about 1 year since I polished them, but no oxidization issues yet. They do show rub marks from contact with my shoes, but they buff out very easily with Blue Magic metal polish cream.
this thread has some detailed info on the process. It sounds like a lot of work, but it only took an afternoon to do the crankset. A seatpost would take much less time.
