Maguires do a polish which is good for ally. Cant remember what its called though. Just polish it the same way as the brushing.
Iv t cut to be good for polishing ally.
Rusty nuts had some good stuff. Im sure he'l be along soon.

Lacquer it before it oxidises? IE no need for polishing?!?!?
It's going to be tricky to polish off the oxide layer without removing the brushing. Certainly with soft alloy after a few polishes you're
going to loose that brushed effect....

plain aluminiun and alloy are two different things.
with the former, use autosol or fine wet and dry and then seal in the surface using clear varnish.
alloy depending on tis type, may not need any treatment.
