[HELP] swirl marks on aftermarket wheels

so my wheels are in a very bad condition with severe brake dust and tar stains all over the lip. yesterday i was cleaning both front wheels with usual wash + clay + QD but it seems that i made swirl marks everywhere even though now there are no more dust and tar. am i doing it right?how do i get rid of the swirls? should i use aluminium polish (like mothers) or use paint polish (like menzerna or poorboys ssr)?

btw the wheels is iforged imolas with brushed aluminium centre and high polished lip.

can you take pictures? if it's on the lip, you could try some light abrasives on it. i used CG metal polish on SES_D's iforged drifts (i think) and the scratches came out for the most part pretty nicely
