Did you cross your sanding grain everytime you went to a finer grit?
And what are you using for a white rouge compound? When i did polishing professionally I found Formax CR51 chrome polish to work the best of any rouge on aluminum.
If you just have wheel swirls and no actual scratches, get yourself a can of Mothers aluminum polish, some Terry cloth rags, and apply the elbow grease.
PS.. the black/brown grease polish is what I used as a second to final step on stainless steel. Not recommended on aluminum.

a hand drill is to slow for buffing.. I tried that and it sucked. I used a angle grinder (be carefull case mine rev's at 11000rpm) and buffed a different angles for each compound. And don't forget the acetone in between each compound. If the scratches are deep go back to the 2000grit.. when I did mine I went to 3000grit..
And she is like a mirror.

i recommend starting from 80 grit work youre way to 2500!!! first use a die grinder only to take the rought out with a medium and fine disk you have to use paint remover to take the clear coat or paint out!! them spend at least 4 sheets of every grit sanding only by hand (no power tools) except to get on hard corner.(do not apply a lot of pressure on the sand paper) this will cause serious marks !!!after youre done clean it up with alcohol them heat it up with a heat gun sunlight ect... do not burn yourself!!! and at least polish it 2 or 3 times!! i personally recommenced white diamond polish! theres another thing we use in pr called diamante (diamond) syringe 
ps: to polish after its done i use TP or bounty paper not to rought do
hope this helpS

I use micro fiber cloths, they leave less fine scratches when polishing than cotton or terrycloth

Well im a friend of ricky and i agree with him. Is better to do it by hand. tools always messed them up. Plus we have done more than 6 bikes and everybody thinks is chrome. Look at the pics.And u tell me

But soon I will be back home in Puerto Rico and I can start working on that 240 kit. Fernan how much is your swingarm extended 4 o 6 over?

Where have you bought those rims???

The rims came polish. But they r machine polish and the dont look too good. So we start from 1500 grid to 3000 grid and the use diamond to polish them. They look way better after that.
