You can polish them but they won't come close to the shine that the older aluminum can buff up to. Take a look at the 34 ft. unit on this link. I know the owner and have seen it personally. It looks great but this isn't the mirror image that you can do with the older vintage trailers.

BTW, does your Safari have front stabilizer jacks? If I remember right those early "new model" Safari's only came with rear jacks and they looked a lot like the jacks on pop up campers. My 2001 Safari had 4 of those pop up style stabilizer jacks but in my opinion were useless. While up at Jackson Center I ran into a fellow who was having larger jacks placed front and back on his Safari.
After seeing his, I had mine pulled and replaced with the same bigger models. Airstream incorporated those bigger jacks on Safari's beginning in the 2002 model year.
