Pretty much all the Ano companys I have looked into include polishing or charge a small fee.

I would get some sand paper or sanding drums for a dremal & keep going until its as smooth as you can get it. Then chuck up the polishing tip in the dremal & polish it. The striker in my Spyder got hand sanded & hand polished years ago. Still holds a near mirror finish. I do keep a thin film of oil on it to keep from rusting since its made of a hard steel.

File it down then get some sand paper and work on it. 600 grit should get it looking good before ano.
