Default Aluminum Valve Cover Question

I'm trying to polish a set of Valve Covers, I have a couple of questions.

I'm seeing tiny pits in the aluminum, will they polish out or should I quit wasting my time.

Its getting pretty smooth and shiney, I can see myself, but its not a mirror like finish, also, will the aluminum get a chrome finish.

At this point which compound should I continue to use, I have black, brown, green and white.

Also, how much compound should I use on the pads.

I'm using a drill if it helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
