1 - Jeweller's rouge works great, as an almost last step. Start with something a little stiffer, like a ... goshdernit, can't remember. Search for "polishing fuchs" and you'll get the whole sequence. Or most places that carry polishing compounds and polishing wheels have a recommended sequence. Basically you start with rough polishes (relatively -- like equivalent to 10,000 grit sandpaper) and stiff wheels, then get progressively softer. Seems like jeweller's rouge is last in the sequence. Finish with something like brasso or never dull.

2 - Don't sand with a drill. Try using lye-based oven cleaner, if you're intent on de-anodizing your wheels. Much easier, used by many with great success. Or sand for a long long time, and just be really super patient. You'll likely get better results if you have really serious patience.
