Perhaps you can get a local process supplier in to look at your operation, Nagyelgendy, but I don't think you will get a shining surface without a bright dip step. Usually these involve nitric acid, although on a smaller scale or with cleaner work you might be able to use stabilized hydrogen peroxide in your sulfuric acid to provide the required oxidizing power.
