VPI Classic Platter - Polishing??

The VPI Classic platter is made from raw aluminum with no coating. Has anyone attempted to polish the platter to a high luster? A friend of mine has done this with his Linn platter and I have seen other polished aluminum platters on the web, but no VPI Classics.

The aluminum on the platter is not anodized, is it? The product info for Wenol states:

"Not recommended for painted and plated metals or anodized aluminum."

Can you post a photo of the ceramic platter? Is just the top ceramic and the rest aluminum/stainless, or something else?

Just curious why you want to do that. Does the stock look, as it were, appear unpleasant?

Aluminum will tarnish over time.
