I rinsed the metal with soap water before using a polish kit that I ordered from Amazon for ~$35 (came with several cotton wheels and the compounds) I attached the wheels to a hand drill. Used the brown then white compound.

If you search “Bikeit UK polish” on Youtube, you’ll find video titled “How to clean and polish metal to a mirror finish” that I recommend watching.

Thank you, sir. I think I've seen that video, and I'll definitely take another look to refresh the knowledge.
