I'm not near my detail stuff right now but I know I got mothers metal polish and then some other brand possibly klasse but don't hold me to that. Bought it at a porsche meet and they had alot of klasse products.

Klasse has some good products, however I do not frequently use them. As far as the metal polishing goes, I'll bullet for you:

You'll want an APC cleaner and let it soak on the boards to ensure you get all the dirt out of the boards, scrub it in and then spray it with water as you wipe it up (using spray bottles for both)

-Apply the metal polish to the pad, and when you go to apply it to the board - in the lowest speed the drill can go - spread it around a small area either 6"x6" or 12"x12"
-Once spread around the area evenly, go to the high speed on the drill and slowly work back and forth.
-Once you've worked the entire area set the speed back down, or tier it down if there are more than 2 speeds.
-As you work it down slower, re burnish the entire spot until you've broken it all down and then pull off.
-Use a microfiber and wipe the area
-Repeat for the next area
