It's the sort of job to be doing DIY to be honest, you need polishing mops etc. I think Ted has recently done some satin finish on his forks, or was it someone else 🤔🤔🤔🤔, can't remember now. But, maybe you could get some pointer from Ted, or whomever it was.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
My fork legs I think are shown in the polishing thread.
My BiL uses 1000 grit Wet & Dry using 3in1 oil instead of water.
You get results pretty easily if your forks are not too badly corroded by salt.

I found Solvolautosol gives it a sort of Satin finish - lots of elbow grease required.
