Aluminum Polishing

I'm trying to polish some aluminum pieces for my car. I used NXT Polish, which worked OK, I'm looking for a mirror finish without scratches. If you look at these photos, you can see the spider web scratches. It has a decent finish, but when the sun hits it at a angle, you can see the imperfections

ptim/Aluminum - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

What can I use to get a perfect finish.

Re: Aluminum Polishing

Might want to try Flitz or Wenol. Also, are you using a machine to polish? If so, what and what sort of polishing pads?

I'm using buffing wheels, that I use with my drill and I'm also hand polishing.
