Cleaning Reflectors

I have a pair of Reefoptix metal halide reflectors (aluminum) that are dirty. I'd like to clean them up as much as possible before I install them in my canopy. I've already cleaned the salt creep off them and I cleaned them with Windex, but there are still some "spots" on them.

Any recommendations on restoring them to their original luster. I'm tempted to pull out the Dremel and try to buff them, any recommendations on a cleaning/polishing product to use?

Its a good idea not to use any chemicals on or around tanks or equipment, i would not use Windex on them, use a viniger/water solution to remove salt creep.

Damp rag and some elbow grease always does the trick for me.
