The reason a simple dual action polisher like the Griot's Garage 6" DA won't do anything is because this tool like other DA polishers are NOT direct drive and what this means is when you push the pad against a surface and especially at an angle, (like you would do for diamond plate), the pad won't rotate.
If the pad is not rotating you are not doing anything.
A rotary buffer is a gear driven, single rotation action tool and with a wool pad and a good metal polish you basically grind off a lot of dead, oxidized aluminum real fast.
Get a steel spur too to keep your pad clean.
