Hey let's face it we all have our ways of doing things...But let the cat out of the bag. (':D')
I start by removing all marks on the axles..
wet sand 1000 grit 10 seconds
wet sand 1500 grit 15 seconds
wet sand 2000 grit 20 seconds
Move to pearl drop tooth paste on a chamois 30 seconds.
and finish with Mothers mag aluminum till residue disappears then set them in denatured alcohol to clean
and finally wipe of with a moist towelette

Re: How do you polish
My method is probably a bit odd but works well and is fast.
Once filing is done I use a diamond impregnated rubber wheel that I section to the width of area needing polishing. Then hold it with a forceps for a few seconds...
Next I use another polishing wheel
Prepolish Wheels Square Edge 01SC2
Followed by a soft Robinson bristel brush in a rotary handpiece combined with Motloid grey, then green polishing compound
Lastly it is high shined with a soft muslin wheel in a rotary with jewelers rouge.
Then cleaned with ammoniated cleaner to remove any traces of polishing compound.
Nice mirror like finish.
