Many have done this, but some have not. So I documented my annual tunnel polishing.
This is a quick rundown on the process to polish your aluminum tunnel. It includes quick tips, tools, and procedures to get a near mirror finish. Of course I could have taken this up to 1500 grit paper, but 1000 grit is giving me the finish I'm looking for.

Tip.....every spring after washing ur sled and getting it ready for storage spray all metal parts down with WD-40. This will cut down on tunnel/aluminum corrosion as well as rust on any exposed metal.
