How did you polish your aluminum?

I'll Second that.

While the paint job is exceptional, the polished aluminum really sets it apart from the rest.  Absolutely amazing.  It just looks like a brand new bike.

I wet sanded using 400,800 then 1000 grit. In the tight areas I used the 3M pads.
After that I used a cotten pad on a drill and rough from Harbor Freight. I spent a
saturday working on the forks, they had the brushed look and the clear coat was
very yellow. I followed everything up with Mothers Alum Polish.
It's a good idea to use gloves so you don't absorb all that aluminum.
