Polished aluminum is easy -- just use very fine sandpaper. If you want it 
to last longer, I suppose you can spray a clear coat right afterwards.

I sure would be amused by U.S. driving public when a polished aluminum A8 
swooshes by -- "moving drivers' hazard" would replace "unintended 
acceleration" for Audi. License plate: WHTFLASH.
