Clean part
Wet sand
Let dry
Use car polish and drop like a some to a quarter size on a rag
Rub the hell out of your part til it becomes shiny and the extra polish is gone

Wait for Lamay's method before trying mine x]
 
I sent him a PM

true, what you're doing isn't going to be a legitimate business, but something where you can make money on the side for something that not everyone has access to. You obviously have a great technique and you should definitely just make a sticky for everyone living in the rest of the us/world

Won't over time they'll oxidise in the air and go a lot duller?

Technically Yes but that will only happen with neglect- not cleaning the part or leaving it out in the elements for an extended amount of time.

But since they are Polished- all nice and clean- every little ding scratch shows up pretty good so don't expect Polished parts to remain pristine on a scooter.

Polishing is easy, I've never done it to scooter parts but I've rawed bike frames and polished them, (after rawing) just wet sand them and then use a real fine grit sand paper on it (Go in circles for a nice finish) and them grab yourself a rag and polish them with silvo or something similar until they are shiny. Put some elbow grease into and do it for a good 5-10 minutes. You can clear coat over it to prevent rust but it's kind of a waste of time, I believe silvo itself has anti rust properties. Probably not how your meant to do it but it worked for me more than once
