go out and buy some mothers aluminum metal polish red can with white top. Take a micro fiber cloth and rub the polish onto your mounts several times and polish them. They will look shiney and new again. Hope this helps bro.

no sanding!

Grab a air cut off tool, and put a buffer wheel on it. Speeds up the process of polishing.
