buffing wheel on a dremel, polishing compound & a few hours of sweat & curse words. Simple mistake, made the same mistake on my 86 250r. Gave me a reason to put in about 25hours of polishing time, but after that it was show quality.

You will have to re-polish it, but the up side is, it will look better if done well.

Not sure if this will help but I have an aluminum bass boat that I polish up with a paste like polish.  You just rub it in and it removes the water stains and oxidation on the aluminum.  I got it at Bass Pro Shops and it really works well.  I am not sure of the name brand but I assume you could get it at any boat shop.
