You can polish any piece of aluminum you can get to a buffer wheel. Lots of sanding first but it can be done.

Dont do it. Youll spend a lot of coin on supplies and a ton of hours, and it will only look like crap in short order unless the car sits in your garage and doesnt go anywhere, and then youll still have to clean it all the time anyway
