Default Machine Polished Lip?

I just finished polishing my lips of my wheels, the lips are aluminum. I noticed that the manufacturer of the wheels states the lips are machine polished? What does this mean.

Also, I started my project off with spiral sewn wheel with white bar, using a handheld drill (1800 rmps and six inch wheels). Second I went with the loose cotten and white and then finished off with red rouge and canton flannel.

I noticed that going from spiral sewn to cotton did nothing. also the red with canton did nothing. IT made no difference. Something I found interesting was that after i polished, I applied some carnuba wax and while buffing the wax off, it appeared the buffing created some scratches that where visible. Should I just forego the wax part and leave it at just white bar and spiral sewn?
