Do you use the sponge ball that connects to a drill or just by hand, in my experience using the sponge ball makes it shine better than just by hand..

Busch works pretty well for the initial cut in and to remove dullness. After that you can finish with mothers or blue magic.

Mother's for sure. I've tried quite a few different ones. The initial polishing job has to be good though.

I like where you put the Twin Power but it looks like it would get in the way when you change your oil filter.

Sorry to the OP for going off topic.

Sounds like you might not be doing it 100% correctly (or your parts weren't polished right to begin with). When you are polishing, when the polish and your polishing applicator turn black; do you keep working it in?

Just ZoopSeal or clear powder coat your polished parts and you won't have to worry about them for a few years!
