    I have not tried polishing Ti, but my experience with polishing
    stainless steel and nickel alloys leads me to believe that you will
    want a buffing wheel for the job, with Tripoli earth or White Diamond
    compound. A lot depends on the smoothness of the surface you're
    starting with and the level of luster you are trying to achieve.

    If you are intent on doing it by hand, use a shoeshine-buff method
    with a long strap of cloth, preferably while holding the seatpost in a
    vise (or overextended in the bike frame while in a workstand). Flitz
    is a good polish paste.
