OK, so I'll try and hunt down some Maas, if not that then Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish. I'll remove as much as I can with a single edge razor then work with some 0000 steel wool. I'm not familiar with fine grit metal sandpaper, are you referring to just a wet/dry sandpaper? If so, what grit? I have NO experience with cleaning metal surfaces so I have no clue which grit to start with.

If you start with MAAS or similar polish you will remove surface dust, grease, rust etc and show what is below.
Then you can decide which grit to start with.
250 grit is the lowest I ever need to use, and I don´t use it that often.
2000 grit is very fine which I usually finish with, but there are finer ones available.
Make sure you work in a pyramid fashion ie if you don´t thoroughly remove ALL scratch marks from the previous grit with the current one you are using, the subsequent grits will not remove them either and you will not have a beautiful finish in the end.
The smaller the jumps between grits the easier it is to achieve this:
