Use the showmans blend. No equal to it and it works very quick. Just apply on a microfiber towel and hand buff.

I start with Nevr Dull (has cotton wadding saturated with the polish)...



...but, once started, I usually end up going at it with super-fine steel wool to speed the process up a bit.

+1 on the neverdull
I've had great luck with neverdull. I did mine earlier this year and it still looks great!
