This sandpaper, 80 grit, is to course. It's going to take a lot of labor to remove the 80 grit scratches before you start to polish! Start with a sandpaper grit that closely matches the aluminum you are polishing. I would suggest 220 grit, if that doesn't cut it try going back to 180 grit.

I was able to succesfully get the pits/scratches out except for a couple of deep ones.but doing this took me quite a bit. is there a faster way thati could sand then other then a palm sander?
Try using the greaseless compound.
