Default Really bad swirl marks in Jet-Hot sidepipe coating

Okay, so after getting the mufflers in, I had some anti-seize and grease all over the right hand side-tube. It came off okay with a clean rage, ubt then I used Mother's aluminum polish (which Jet-Hot says works great?) with a very fine and clean rag, and it came out clean, in the dim garage lights. The next day, I took it out in the sun, I noticed really really ugly swirl marks in the tube's coating !!! It really looks terriblr right now, almost like it scratched.
Is there any way to remove these, or hide them, becasue I'm afraid to use any more, in fear of wrecking them even more....but boy, do they look like someone a rag with gravel in it

Any idears are more than welcome, because now I'm wishing I would have had them ceramic painted flat white like the old race cars

Any one? I'm really at quite a loss here, considering how much they cost.....

Oh, and "bump"!

Mine are a lot like your description, last time I washed the car I used one of those nylon covered sponges and was surprised how much better they looked.
Nowhere near what they should look like but better than they were.

I'm also thinking about going with white when it's time to re-coat them.

I used Mother's on mine as well and there are just as bad looking as yours are. I'd like to be able to find something to take the swirl marks out of mine also.
