Default Polishing aluminum, it's ruff.

I'm attempting to polish my gas tanks, they are aluminum gas tanks and they are really ruff. The issue I'm running into right now is that these gas tanks have a ton a little grooves/scratches. I'm not sure why they are like this, maybe from manufacturing. I'm using a sisal buffing wheel and the brown bar and it's working, it's removing them slowly but at this rate it's going to take me forever. I'm wondering if there was something i could do to speed this process up a bit. I was thinking maybe a real fine piece of sand paper but wasn't sure. Here's a poor pic of the gas tanks, i also included a link that includes the huge version that will give you a bit better detail of the tanks
