I've tried to polish my rims I a mirror finish, started at 400 grade wet and dry down to 1500 and then used meguires metal polish but they are just not coming up shiny enough?

followed pretty much what this guy did but they really just not coming up how i want them

are there different grades of alloy and some just don't polish? or am I doing something wrong?

any tips and tricks I can try?

to get a true mirror shine, stopping at 1500 really wont get you there, but itll get close if you use a polishing kit, for a drill like this, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PERFECT-POLISHING-KITS-4-Brass-and-Precious-metal-kit-/260513930966?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3ca7d71ed6
