Move up to a polishing bit..felt wheel, or drum, and polishing rouge.

Yes. Jeweler's rouges are special fine grit polishing powders that are sometimes sold as Dremel polishing accessory kits.
Jeweler's rouges can be also be purchased separately or there are similar polishing compounds at auto stores. For instance, there's valve grinding compound and buffing compounds of various grits. But they're not exactly the same as jeweler's rouge which is sold in powder or block form for mirror polishing.
