If you're looking for a highly polished surface Flitz would work - Simichrome would give even a higher polish but it's pricy. I found Flitz at the local hardware store but had to mail order Simichrome.

On that one, I would agree with Art, Flitz. http://www.flitz.com/index.html

I've been using it on my weapons for years now, quite happy with it.

Blue Magic has the same effect as Semi Chrome, both are non abrasive and leave behind a silicone shield of protection. Blue Magic can be found as most automotive stores and is not pricey. Use only on high gloss finishes.
