Remove the glove mark from the surface of anodized aluminum

Hi, I'm having difficulty on removing the glove mark from the anodized aluminum. We suspected that these glove marks have been appeared after extrusion and prior to anodizing. These glove marks are v obvious once the aluminum has been anodized. We tried to use THE sandpaper to polish it away but this will affect the appearance of aluminum. Hence, we would like to ask for a better way to remove this glove mark.

Thank you for spending your time to analyze my problems.

May be you can try acid base cleaner to remove the marks.
