they have been sanded 220-400-800-1000, emery sewn cotton, brown sewn cotton, white loose cotton

does anyone have any pointers, or tricks to help out on polishing out really soft aluminum?
pictures would be better but i would have skipped the emery part . i m sure there is some section that you can cross polish to find out wich step has left those those scratches
