Rule #1- never use a Dremel to polish a firearm.

First, using a sanding block, polish with progresively finer abrasives from 100 down to 400 or 600 grit. Make sure the marks from the previous grit has been worked out before going to finer paper.
Second, wet sand with oil and the finest grit paper you worked to. This will give the metal a "glow".
Last, buff lightly to polish to a shine.
