Fixing deep scratches in rims

Alright, guy who had car before me must have drove like an *******, because all of my rims look like he had scraped curves a few times. They all have a lot of deep scrapes, luckily however...I have lots of time on my hands, and bought a $7 dremel the yesterday. Today I was looking for something to do with it, and saw a big piece of metal sticking out of my rim real far I had been wanting to file off, so I tried the thing on that. Took it off no prob and I started doing all off it I could.

Here's a pic from right when I started (wish I had got more, it's a huge diff):

And here are 3 pics of how the rim's have turned out so far. They're still a little rough, but 100% better, especially from a few feet back and in person.

Ok, so now that I have this much done, any ideas on how I can get them really smooth and shiny? Sorry, but I'm new to all this, and have no idea really.
