Just light powder and some light pitting! No Shine to the boom and mast at all.

Try some Scotchbrite pads on it with water.

just a small area and see how it looks. Some of what you are seeing may just be dirt.

Easy on the abrasives

Scotchbrite is color coded, the harder grades (like green) might damage anodizing as well as removing dirt. I'd stick to a non-abrasive cleaner and a "teflon safe" pad first. If that doesn't get the dirt, the anodizing may be gone (from prior harsh cleaning?) and anything else you do to polish it, won't keep it shiny for long. If that's the case the options are re-anodizing (if they are short enough and there's a local shop) or coating, i.e. with Imron or Awlgrip. Or, just clean and wax it and turn your head.<G>
