It actually permeates and strengthens the aluminum around .003 of an inch.

Yep although many RC parts get just enough anodising to colour the parts. You can sand anodising off but you'll be using 240g minimum
Regardless, once you remove the anodising use a Scotch Brite pad next, this will take it to a brushed finish, from here you can either use a fine paper 400g or finer, then polish OR a coarse grit polish before fine polish
