If you plan on Anodizing save the time and DON'T POLISH the frame.
When you anodize it affects the surface it will be etched. If you polish first it will NOT hold it's shine. They have what they call a BRIGHT DIP but that is not going to give you the Highly Polished Gold look.
The inserts may need to be replaced as the Anodizing process includeds a mild ACID dip and dependant on time for their process may affect the inserts.
I used to work at a plating shop and tried a couple of things. Not worth the effort, and the cost was Free.
