Might be a clear coat, probably anodizing. Anyway, it's reacting with the tripoli. You have to remove it.

How deep are the tooling marks?

You'd have to grind them smooth to make them look like the Fuchs, especially if you have a high polish on them. If a sort of satin finish, it will be easier to semi-match them.
I think it may be a clear coat. It seems to come off with sanding. The groove also disappear with enough sanding too. You can't really feel them, so I don't think they are too deep.

Unfortunately I'm going for the polished lip look to match the others I just did.

What if I use one of those stainless steel brush wheels?
