Look for the "NASA" post. It seems aluminum's softness makes it almost impossible to attain a true optically perfect surface, hence the swirl marks. They drive me nuts, but as you say the customers don't seem to mind. The ones who do are really looking for a chrome job, which is hard enough to take on a perfect polishing job.
