To all those with Polished Plenums: How do you maintain shine?

I just high polished my plenum.

I been using a terry cloth and MOTHERS to maintain it and I'm getting "fine" swirl mark scratches that can only be seen at an angle.

What do you guys use? What will remove these fine scrathes. 3m rubbing compound removes 1500 or finer grit..should I try it?

I think I'm going to use WINDEX and paper towels from now on. Seems safe.

Interesting question. I just polished mine and was planning on using the Mothers. Wonder how Zaino would hold up with that heat.

I'm going to be using WINDEX with paper towels by the recommendation of several bodyshop guys. Do the same.

I just need to figure out how to remove these fine scratches. Im thinking 3m rubbing compound..
