Default How to polish machined raw aluminum?

So I've sanded w/ 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000 and 1500 grit paper then polished with white stick and cordless drill/cotton wheel. Not getting scratches completely out nor the luster I'm looking for. Any helpful hints out there? Maybe something w/more speed then cordless drill? What are the best color compound sticks to use? Do I need to go even further w/finer grit sandpaper? What do they use to accomplish this on the billet wheels after machining?
Thanks
