Need advice for Eames Table Leg  

I think
It looks fine. You could use some steel wool (fine grit) and/or aluminum polish.

thx for the reply
Is it...
thx for the reply
Is it going to be easy to take out those stains with the steel wool? aluminum polish: is it like a clear coat?

No
It would be a paste that you rub on and rub or buff off... such as this.

I don't think there is clear coat
I have one myself,and I think the finish is unpolished,unsealed

It's definitely polished
From the factory... But you will find vintage examples in all sorts of conditions. I have some that are still quite shiny. The OP's also looks pretty good to me.

What do you mean by OP's......

Mother's is awesome and has worked wonders on many things for me, but I wasn't ever able to clean up an aluminum group base with it... I have a feeling, at least with my base, there was some sort of coating preventing it. Just my experience. But I always keep some of that stuff around. People always let their Eames H bases stay milky and old looking. You can rub them into a mirror shine with this stuff!!!!

is it going to stay shine...
is it going to stay shine for a while or it will get oxide again.

If Mother's works it will...
If Mother's works it will stay shiny for a loooong time. That stuff is gold.

Good polish, Mother's. Make sure you use a very fine 0000
steel wool. Your project may polish fine with just a cotton cloth.
Aluminum is one of the easiest metals to polish by hand.
"Polishing aluminum by hand, while not as fast as by machine, is pretty easy. Use aluminum or ?mag? polish and a soft cloth. Apply the polish to your cloth, working it into the polishing cloth, then begin polishing your part. The cloth will turn black. This is normal. Keep polishing. Use a clean, dry, soft towel to buff the polish off of the part and inspect your work. Repeat until you have achieve the desired results."
If you are really picky and have the time, use an old toothbrush to really get
the polish into tight spots.
Use an old t-shirt to polish and buff.
After all that work i would just seal it with a paste wax and buff.

Stuff is gold.
I used this Mothers polish for other things and just gave it a try for you on my table. It works like a charm. I don't know if you can tell from my photo but I placed a small bright colored jar in front so you can see the reflection. I only polish the part bellow the cotton. You can see how the rest is kind of smoky. It's shiny, I tell ya!
I used a little piece of cotton. You definitely don't need steel wool. Use an old tshirt as they mentioned before.
My table is vintage and hasn't been polished ever I believe. I don't really mind that old look.

Amen Caco
Before you begin buffing make sure you want a shiny polished finish to your Eames base.
Personally, I like the matte finish of older oxidized aluminum. But then I like a vintage patina to nearly all the older things I have. Not tired and beat, just clearly older. I'm not opposed to restoring things, but don't assume if it shows it's age it's not as desirable.
I guess it depends on how you intend to use the table or with what chairs, etc. But if you think you might want the matte finish to the base, it will take some time for that to come back if you polish it up.
Just my 2 cents.

Agree
I like patina too. I only buffed a very small area and decided to just leave the rest as it is.
