I use Meguiar's wax on my car, I'll try it on my component, I mean components, unless yinz suggest otherwise.
Thank you all for your input.

I scored a scratched up, janky looking M730 XT crank, polished it up- and BAM.

On a related topic, how do I choose/find a good bench grinder/polisher?
I was ready to buy one a few weeks ago, after I decided that I had enough sanding and polishing my components by hand.
What brand and model should I get?
Tried to shop for one at .my localHome Depot and was surprised to find out they did not carry any.....

Nice work Andy_K; and a great example of how the practical approach to good-enough results is often the most satisfying; stopping short of obsession.
