Anyone ever polish pontoon tubes?

Just wondering if anyone has ever polished (to a mirror finish) the aluminum tubes of a pontoon boat? My boat is a little over a year but the tubes are dark gray and kinda nasty already, I want them to have the polished / chrome look. Whats the best process and products to use?

Also, what is best to use for the painted aluminum panels and the anodized aluminum rails to clean and protect?

I assume I can clean the carpet the same as I would in my cars? We upgraded the carpet in our but I dont think it has any treatments on it.

If you search for "Bass Boat" on MOL, Mike Phillips' did his to a mirror and it's the same surface material. I would recommend Rolite polishes on a rotary buffer over the Meg's that he used.
