and mine is not stainless

are you going to coat it after polishing it? mine has the 1st gen coating with heavy wear and sweat on it will start spots on rusting it in about a day.

I suspect there's a reason for that.
If it's a carry gun then putting it "in the white" is probably not the best of all ideas.

i want to keep in from rusting it is the old school finish and i sweat on it and it gets surface rust

Bead blasting is the way to go I just did a used Sig GSR I picked up cheap cuz of all of the scratches and it looks factory new now, (I am very picky) the finish is perfect since the XD is not stainless you should coat it with something or it will turn to a nice shade of brown
