Ok I did not have brake cleaner but did have carb cleaner and that along with a tooth brush and a bit of elbow grease has brought the cylinder back to life, thanks motorman455.

I have tried all sorts for polishing, I have got a bench polisher and hand held polisher with various wheels but when doing a small job like the facia on the calliper I would stick with the Mothers gear so I do not stray on to the bumpy surfaces, I watched a video on youtube a while back and thought yeah alright, bought a pot and was shocked how good it is, the video was not a con 👍🏼

Here are some wheels I did with Mothers Alloy & Mag cleaner, mainly by done hand and the remainder with a hand held polisher..

Yeah I did a set of car wheels with the Mothers aluminum polish and the Mother's power Ball attachment for a drill and they ended up looking like a mirror finish. You're correct about staying away from the cast surfaces with the polish as it won't get down in the porous surface and you'll end up with an inconsistent finish
