Default Best way to remove swirl and burn marks on chrome?

Does anyone know a very good way to do this? I tried using tripole and it
just made it worse. I had a few scratches and I thought I could use that to
remove them but I ended up with burn(I think thats what its called) and
swirl marks.

Now its worse than when I started. I do not have any finer abrasives with
me at the moment but I will buy something if I knew what to look for. My
idea was to get jeweler's rouge and just spend a few hours working on it but
I have no idea if this will work. Last thing I want to do is make it worse.
My goal now is just to remove the burn and swirls or atleast the burn.

I've seen several products that claim pretty amazing things but I doubt
there claims as it seems to good to be true.

Any ideas on how to solve this issue besides getting the thing replated(its
just a small area about 2x3 sqin and I don't see any reason to spend that
much money on getting it replated.).

(The marks are not deep but there are a lot of them and when the light hits
it just right its very bad looking)

Thanks,
Jon
