Best low cost approach for restoring aluminum trim?

Assuming I can get all of the dings and dents out, whats the best way to restore the shine on the aluminum parts like these? I assume a high speed buffing wheel, but all I have is a hand drill. Id need to make a purchase for a grinder/polisher on a stand type thing. So far I have taken the sail panels and the front grill and sprayed with easy off to remove the anodized coating and then wetsanded them to 2000 grit and then polished but Im not sure this is the best way.
