second that one, back to black, also armour all car interior polish stuff works well. on metals i use fine wire wool with metal polish like autosol on it for bad surfaces or just autosol if its not too bad

Back to black is the stuff but be carfull because it picks up every bit of dirt/sand on the track and will stick to everywhere you spray it. As for Metals Solvo Autosol or Brassol.

To make stainless shiny, polish it with baby oil ;) and no, i'm not being kinky! this time

Scotch bride (not sure of the spelling?)

Basicly on the back of the dish sponge in your kitchen sink.

Works on aluminium & stainless very well.

You mean Scotchbrite washing type or 3M scouring pads, new ones for real dull metal stuff and mums old ones for most other stuff used with remnants from old toothpaste tubes will bring to a sheen then use brasso or silver polish etc. I usually finish with a good spray furniture polish well buffed as then does not get fluff and dust sticking to it after.
Hope this helps

WD40 on plastics and carbon fibre. Wipe blue threadlock into scratches on carbon fibre.

That only works if you're either spinning the part or the scotch brite very fast... If you do it manually you'll end up with a fugly part in my own experience.
