I used to use rubbing compound, polishing compound , than machine glaze. The machine glaze also worked great on my mirrors, windshield and chrome parts.

try some glaze on those to. I used a cheap black& decker buffer on the light weight stuff, lower RPMs, no burn. I buff my guitars with it too.
they come out with a mirror finish
