aluminum polishing

I know this subject was covered at length some months back, but...

The cast aluminum parts - thermostat outlet, valve cover, etc - are so full 
of "flaws" from the casting process that I can't seem to polish them very 
well.  The stamped aluminum parts, like the Solex air filter cover, polish up 
very easily.  Are the cast parts going to require sanding first?  Starting 
with 80 or 160 grit, and then progressing to polishing compounds and finally 
rouge?  Or what am I missing?

Thanks in advance.
