First off what wheel are you using in your Dremel?
If you have a drill motor you can get felt buffs for that. The buffs would have a 1/4" shank. It sounds to me like you are not getting the aluminum hot enough for the compound to polish. It's not the aluminum because you polished some of it with no problem.
The polishing grits by coarseness to fine are Emory, Stainless Steel, Tripoli and White. I would try some 1" treated or untreated buffs. After some use they will get into the area that you are trying to polish. The reddish-brown compound you have is more and likely Tripoli. Try that first and then use the white. It's hard to tell the size of inside area you are trying to polish. Another suggestion would be a 1" facer buff!
Tip: If you use a drill motor tape the chuck with duct tape so it won't scratch the aluminum if you happen to slip!
