Thank you! And I think with a brush is more effective because you can concentrate it on certain areas and apply it thicker. To polish, I'm starting out with 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper to get all of the pits out, then moving to 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, then using a polishing drill attachment to apply the polishing compound.

Power ball would work, I'm just using an old school rotating pad haha. Bottlecaps are a bitch with all the tight spaces though, so I may end up getting a power ball for that or either just hand polishing. Let me know how it goes!

yeah man for sure ill prob post up some pics when they are all done
