The good colonel is correct if you need to create a mirror finish. I use 100 grit and elbow grease to remove anodizing. It's also nice to touch up any mold marks that may have been missed at the factory. If you just want to do a surface polish w/o stripping the anodizing, I use chrome polish and soft rag. That will take off the factory graphics and spiff up the surface....just be careful not to polish in one place too long. Better done by hand. I just did this to a set of Centaur cranks.
Incedentally, I used the same polish to smooth out some rub marks that came on a set of used chorus carbon cranks. Worked very well.
