Well, it looks like I did it! I went home, used the Black/Spiral, twice, once up and down, then once back and forth. Then I moved to another Spiral wheel with the Brown Tripoli. I did this about three times. I now have almost a mirror finish! I can see that I need to speed up the drill (mine is very old, and Im using it so much that now there is about 1/4 of play in the shaft!) I spent a long time researching what I needed to do, and, I think if someone does that, They too can get these results! Believe me, I never thought I coulkd do it!
Here is the formula that worked for me:
36 grit disc sanded with air grinder (NEVER EVER DO THIS!!!!!!)
180 grit wet sand
320 grit wet sand
400 grit wet sand
600 grit wet sand
1500 grit wet sand (yah, I know a bug jump, my store here sucks!)
I did the 1500 grit twice
Spiral wheel and Black Emery, twice over
New Spiral wheel and Brown Tripoli three times, alternating ways of buff
hand polished with the liquid white rouge.
Tools were:
Very tired old drill with two speeds. (Use high always with a drill)
lots of old shirts
Of course the 4" Aluminum Polish kit from Caswell!
Lots of sanding, patince, and reading, reading, reading here!!!
And, I must say, thank you all for the advice.
I will post pictures tomorrow!

. as for the final i would only caution that on a large part/surface the dremel pad size is small and you might get streaks from it. as always bro best of luck.
