What's the purpose of the enamel reducer in this process? A degreasing agent? If done properly, you shouldn't need any additives.

What size wheels are you using on your drill?

What was the condition of the metal before you began with the black compound? BTW - Black works best on a sisal wheel, Brown on the Spiral Sewn Cotton. You shouldn't need white when polishing aluminum, but some people claim good results. Use it with the Spiral Sewn wheel also.

The purpose of the Loose Cotton wheel is to get into areas the Spiral Sewn cannot. It's not a softer (less abrasive) wheel than the Spiral Sewn.

There's quite a few posts on here already about hazy aluminum, which I think you've read already based on your post, but perhaps a re-read of them would be helpful. Some are quite detailed and offer good suggestions.
