Default Aluminum Restoration

Not sure this is the right place to put this but at least many will see it. I have some cast aluminum parts that are scratched from years of service. Screw driver scratches and the such......Nothing greatly deep. I'd rather not paint the parts. What are the proper steps to restore these pieces? Should I be looking at bead blasting? I do not want to remove any detail or part numbers. Thanks in advance.

I'd look at blasting them to remove scratches.

Final finishing will depend on what the parts are.
