Rolite Aircraft Polishes. I use the type AP-300 after achieving a decent shine. Its micro ceramic ballons that 'smoothes' out all small sctatches left by ANY abrasive because it is technically not an abravive. Then coat onece or twice a year with their polish /sealant in bottle to prevent oxidation. Below are some links. Yuu may want to shop around for best price. I buy my stuff at either Sun N Fun Airshow in Fla. or Oskosh Show.

I use a 00 micro balloon polish cream for aircraft. What it does is
smoothes
out the micro scratches any or your abrasive polishes leave for a mirror finish.
email me later for the brand and web address as I just got in from 4
days
on
the trail.
you will love the stuff and wont believe the results. Forget your cycle stuff and buffing wheels.

Hey John, Thanks for the relies. Once you get your parts buffed do you coat
them
with anything or just let them ride? Thanks again. -Jeff

Any helpful hints for buffing
Part 2
Forgot to mention, Do not mix polishing compounds on the same
buffs.
Mark each buff with the compound you're using on it. Wash the old
caked
on polish off frequently and of course when switching compounds.
Have
a
soft cloth to wipe the white rouge/dust off with frequently when in
the
final step.
The results get better as you work more on it. I ended up redoing
parts
2-3 times as I caught on and the results got better.
