Do you mean what's my method for keeping my significant other pacified
or my polishing method?

For polishing:

The stem was nickle plated; I removed the plating and had it chrome
plated.

The bars are easy, just Simichrome, polish like you're polishing a
shoe. No need to unwrap if you're careful.

The bell was complicated. Ten minutes in an Easy Off bath to remove
the anodization. Scrub with one of those green pot scrubbing pads
(like very fine steel wool) to remove residual anodization. Polished
with Dremel metal polishing compound, then hand polish with
Simichrome. You could probably skip the Dremel step, it didn't seem to
do much.
