How long did it take to polish ?

Machining marks were really bad.

Evo bodies were 3D machined using a ball endmill and a million passes. that type of surface is normal for 3D machine parts.
the smoother you want it the more money it costs in machine time.
vibratory tumbling will take that right off with little effort. I leave finish work up to your anodizer of choice.

Actually only takes a few minutes, aluminium polishes up real easy, just need to use a decent grade of polish on the mop wheel for the rough then normal polish for the mirror finish.
You can use a bit of 240 grit emory cloth before hand to get in the nooks and crannys to speed up on polishing time.

Machine lines are standard in 3d machining and XMT has done a good job, a lot better compared to some of the stuff I've had to deal with over the years, I've delt with a lot worse.

A local polisher should charge you about $20 to polish up a body in my opinion

Outside of an anodizer, you probably couldn't get someone to touch it around here.
