Are you speakign of the riveted on polished stainless steel shroud? There you'd have to go up to finer grits and end by polishing it with a lambswool hood (exp?) and polishing compound.

Eh, I figured wet sanding with the finer grit sand paper would take care of it for the most part, but yeah, a buffing wheel would finish it off nicely.
