I was talking to them at the GTR East regional this year and apparently they use WD-40 and a palm sander to buff the entire robot (except pneumatics, electronics, sensors and the battery)
We would use WD-40 and Scotchbrite on the chrome moly tubing of our race cars, especially the roll cage. It looked good. I imagine doing the same to aluminum would look very good as well.
