Well you just got to keep cleaning it to stop it going again, the grainy texture that comes in the new finish has been removed and it is now nearly smooth in texture so keeping it clean will be a lot easier than it ever was before.
Polishing mops are the only thing for this job
Would you be happy with the second picture as a finished item ?

I'll just give it a buff over and some metal polish... I don't see any probs there as it is now smooth and should be easy enough to maintain.

How Clean.....
You can do it Simon 
first though I'll take it into work and blast some air into it to clean any dust etc out.
