Default Autosol Metal Polish

Hey guys, I tried out some Autosol Metal Polish since it was recommended to remove scratches on my exhaust, but before doing that I tested the product on the back of my iPod touch and it seems to scratch it more than removing the scratches? Any help? I'm apply with the MF clothe and as well as buffing it out with one.
Here's a picture, The Right side is polished with autosol, Left side is untouched.

Were you using a lot of pressure? Another thing to keep in mind is that the Touch is made of super soft metal. I found my Gen1 was scratchable by my nail only as well as microfiber towels. Autosol is great on exhausts. I wouldn't use it on any of my clients vehicles nor mine since they cost a pretty penny

I was using pretty light pressure, I was just going back and forth on it to just work the polish. I see, I tried it on a small portion of my exhaust today, it was alright but I'm planning on buying some mother's mag and aluminum polish to try that out since I've heard a lot of good things about it.
