The best "Low Maintenance" strategy for polished aluminum components is having them clear coated. The materials of choice here are clear powder coating or Ceramic Coating. Depending on the application, you can get temperature protection up to about 1000F with no discoloration or yellowing. Once they're clear coated you'll NEVER have to polish them again.....
The parts below were polished and clear coated......The clears are essentially optically clear, hence the reason you can see some questionable polishing work.....

Hi. Thanks for the information. The valve covers currently have the original orange powder coating, I realise that has to be removed, but I was looking for the easiest option with regard to finishing. Cheers Trevor.
