You cannot chrome aluminum, well you can but nobody will really do it.

He polished it, I did it to my v1 with a buffing wheel, a red polishing compound, and then cleaned it up with some metal polish that I bought from ace hardware.

What sorta stuff did you use? I sanded my deck with a foam 100 grit sanding block (tried finer grit sandpaper but it made it worse) then rubbed it with a cloth and some Silvo aluminum polish and my deck came out really shiny and a little bit reflective but not that really mirrored polished look

100 grit is really coarse, when I did it I used 220 and sanded it for almost an hour, you have to do it until it looks really smooth and then you apply the polish.

I did use a few finer grades of sandpaper, up to 300 something I think but a foam 100 grit sanding block seemed to make it the shiniest
