This is a vary general question, with a not so simple answer.
A lot of it depends upon the aluminum itself, it's not all the same. The better/higher quality heat treated stuff can be polished to a perfect shine that will last much longer than the soft stuff. Softer alloys will never polish up the same and what they will achieve will oxidize much faster.
