My pillars were ridden with oxidation and water marks. I used 3M Foam Polishing Pad Glaze with the closed-cell foam pad on my buffer and it did a excellent job. Got rid of every spec of oxidation and water marks. The pillar looks brand new. The difference is that this product removes those imperfections rather than covering them up.

Pillars are black anodized aluminum - not painted - should be polished rather than painted

I, too, am looking for polishing suggestions
