Default Sanding questions

Just a couple of questions as to what people think i should use to sand these items in preperation before polishing. Cast aliminium and its VERY VERY rough to start with.




Ive started it already and what ive done is sandblasted with a 120 ali oxide grit, and i recently bought one of these http://http://www.machinemart.co.uk/...6&r=2022&g=103

which has helped no end in the first stages of sanding. Should i be using a greasless compound on wheels to get in the tight areas? Ive got a dremel and thought about felt bobs and greasless but unsure how well the greaseless will work?

Im in the UK which might make a difference in products but i found this

thought it might be of help to me?

With this stuff, can i use loose mops to put the greaseless on? Ive read sown mops are to be used but i dont think they'll gets down in between the tubes due to being too thick etc.
