kowalski:
mate what i do is
1, oven pride
2, 400 wet and dry on a polisher circular pad
3, 1000 wet and dry " "" "
4, using a polishing mop ie sheepskin or cloth on a polisher, dremmel, or buffing machine (i use a flex vari speed) and a buffing wax stick, i use pink,
the whole process on a chain wheel after anno removal is about ten mins,  :daumenhoch:
and comes up mint
im sure there are even quicker ways but this is mine hope it helps

Rombloke:
i got to tell you.....

new school redline chainrings have the hardest anno on them ive ever come across.

oven pride will not shift it.
you will need caustic.

but it will come up nice

gossa:
what size old flight ring are you after?

stidds:
That chainring will polish up nice, as Dave says you need Caustic to shift the annodising.  I used a drill polishing kit on mine.  Here are the results.
