Take of the anodizing first. Then take your time and don't skip any grades of sandpaper. I did 400, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000 by hand, and then two polishing rouges (polishing bonnet on a drill). Final polish and seal was with mothers aluminum polish by hand.
Wetsand with the paper and put a few drops of dishsoap in there for a lubricant. If you skip steps you will have to go back and do it twice so don't rush. Sand until you think it's good enough, then do it two more time before you move to the next grade paper.
It's miserable work but it has a great payoff....
