Polishing an aluminum frame

I'm polishing a bare aluminum 979 Vitus road bike.I started with 1200 and then 3000 and now I'm finishing it off with 4000 pink polishing paper. It's looking pretty nice and I'm planning to just paste wax it and let it go and see how it holds up. I replaced all the old original scratched up components with some vintage Campagnolo Nuovo derailleurs, crankset, wheels and hubs with a brown seat and brown cork bar tape. I left the Weinman brake levers Tetro brakes,for now they both look pretty good with everything else and work good. I don't ride it very much just take it out for a spin once in a while. Like many of you I have quite a collection to choose from, I've had this bike sitting in the corner for many years and thought it would be fun to mess with, and I'm really glad I did it's been fun and looks good enough to hang on the wall.
