Default badly oxidized aluminum railing

Here's what I'm working with.


And after 8 hours or so with a rotary, wool pad, M105 and with about 3000 rpm and 15 to 20 lbs. pressure. Then lower speed and pressure and go back over railing again so to remove the buffer trail/ holograms on aluminum.


Thought I was really going to be in trouble with the top but here's some test spots using Meguiars Ultimate Compound on a terry towel and about 20 seconds of rubbing by hand.


And same technique on other side.


My question Mike, is the tubing at the top is worse then the bottom and I've had to use 0000 steel wool with M105 on it and rub what seams like forever and then buff but not really doing any good. Would Marine 31 metal polish be alot more aggressive then Meguiars M105?

And/or what would you use in a case like this? I'm wasting why to much time to try to get every inch of these bars to a mirror shine to all blend in together.

Will get some pics of the condition of tubing and post up so you can get a better ideal, Thanks!
