Removing Alloy tarnishing

Got a pair of alloy hubs that I've cleaned up, looking very shiney but there is a small amount of tarnishing. Looking like small worm runs (best as I can describe).

Can this be removed?

oberonspacefruit:
anything can be removed with enough polishing.

Ok, can it be removed easily?

oberonspacefruit:
depends how deep it is. is the alloy laquered, or just plain old alloy?

jimwise68:
Good question. It is very shiny so might be lacquered. which means I have to get the lacquer off first right!

If they are not lacquered is it simply a case of elbow grease and time, or perhaps a Dremmel?
