Anodizing is only like .0002" thick, are something like that. You aren't going to be able to feel where the anodizing has been worn or scraped off, which is what those spots are.
LIke I said, a very mild polish cleaner will quickly improve the appearance, by cleaning up and polishing the little spots. Anodizing is much harder than bare metal and polish generally will not affect the anodizing at all, if you don't go ape at it. IOW, be careful not to be so vigorous that you cut through the anodizing.
