polishing parts?

Im bored as hell this winter and waiting on parts for the t2 and decided to try to polish some parts to contrast all the paint. I guess also to compliment my new fd tb, greddy elbow, and what i hope to become a v mount intercooler and piping. I realize the sanding is key to this now just after starting on my booster vacuum line banjo shit, but how far do most go in grit? I thought 400 would be good but after polishing im not happy with appearance. im using turtle wax polishing compound with a dremel buffer afterwards. Do certain metals not polish as well as others or am i way off on my strategy?
