Default Re: Can't get a good polish on aluminum

I swapped out each wheel for a less used one and cleaned the new ones in lacquer thinner followed by soap & water followed by a wheel rake and I still got the same result. I also did that experiment baz mentioned and it seems like no wheel/compound is standing out in particular. I'm thinking that maybe doing my regular polishing followed by 2000 grit wetsanding might be worth a shot but I've never polished via high grit sand paper so I really don't know.
