Don’t think they are aluminium because the black paint had started to show signs of rust.
The polishing kit I have I bought at the new classic car show last year from these guys

It’s very good. I have used it to polish all sorts of metal.
I haven’t lacquered them yet but probably will do. They are dead simple to take on and off.
Cannot see why would not also work on bonnet struts . Will probably give them a go next week...
