By the way...looking at the photos I'd say you do have a problem, but remember you will always have some swirls and micro-scratches in aluminum. I know some people talk about their "perfect" polishing jobs, but I guarantee you that if I take it out their piece out into the bright sunlight I will see scratches. In my opinion it's because of the relative softness of the material. Chrome plating can be polished to a "mirror" finish only because it's much harder.
