What you can do to is. Get a piece of 1/4" diameter metal rod. Cut a slot in one end of it about one inch long with a hack saw. Now get a piece of emery paper about one inch wide and about six inches long. Fold it up twice, and stick it in the slot in the end of the rod. Now you can use that for polishing up the rough areas. You can use different grits of emery paper for different finishes.
Aluminum takes a different type of burr bit. One used for hard metals will clog up. It has to be a courser bit.
