I can tell you a little something about media polishing. When I have my headers coated with ceramic, they polish it with a ceramic bead in vibrator. The coating mostly aluminum. This polished the coating inside and outside the header. But I don't know how it work on a raw aluminum. Maybe if can remember I'll call the place that coats my headers.
