I'm not surprised no one hasn't put up any of their polishing to wind up the OP

Some use Oven cleaner to remove the anodising then polish it and there are the ones that use a buffer and ruin them if not careful.
Typed in polishing cranks into search bar and there is loads of idea's.

I dumped a chainring into some oven cleaner and forgot all about it, that was until the next morning :roll: It had a thick black hard layer on it and was a cow to remove.

Only joking! Its funny but I often really wonder just how many classic old parts have ended up completely ruined beyond repair or future use just because someone like us has decided to go about a innocent yet misguided 'refurb' session!
I can tell you, those Chorus cranks (and myself) were in a dark, lonely and frankly rather nasty place during the initial sanding part of the refurb...coming out the other shiny side was a welcome relief.
