Good Idea.

If that works out I would go for 3M aluminium Polish:

I used it on the aluminium chassis of a Bush TV22, which was quite corroded before I started. I used 1200 & then 2000 grade paper prior to the polish:

It took some hours. Get ready for black-grey hands, which will wash up with detergent.

The thing I like about the polish (despite that it works really well) on the label it says; 3M will not be responsible for any damage caused by the polish regardless of any theory put forward by a Lawyer ! After reading that I was even more devoted.
