Mark,

Does this stuff chemically attack the anodizing or is it an abrasive compound?

Aluminum anodizing is a layer of aluminum oxide - the same thing that Aluminum Oxide grinding wheels and other abrasives are made of.

Standard anodizing is usually only a few .001" thick but can be as much as .005" in "ceramic" rims.

There are some 3M Scotch-Brite wheels that can do a good job of removing thin anodizing leaving a slightly polished finish.
