The impression I got is that it's not polished aluminum, but a clearcoat/protectant which gives the shine. I didn't get details, however.

One of the customers of my former workplace earned money for flying lessons when he was much younger, by polishing privately owned warbirds at the airfield by where he lived.
The conversation came about when he stopped by the shop one day and noticed I had an aluminum K-9 partition removed from a police cruiser and was in the process of polishing it.
He also gave some good tips on how to rub the finish out without leaving "swirls", so it seems that the aircraft are bare (non clearcoated) or at least were in his time.

Interesting - the last time I was around a bare metal airplane was about 15 years ago, the only way to maintain it was "wax on, wax off"

Polished metal is a nightmare to maintain and it's downright immoral.
