Default polishing case

While I have the two sides off my bike I thought I should polish them. What's the best way to do this? Which products, tools?

Chill ... it has only been an hour.

What material are you trying to polish, that might help get a good, helpful reply.

Sorry dude, once it's off the first page, it's forgotten. I think it's aluminum. The side case covers on my Raptor. I'm sure some one else would know for sure.

Got a buffer and something to use with it? Start spinning.

I'm sure someone else has a better suggestion.

Thanks for the reply thomez but I pretty much had it up to there. I was just wondering mainly about products other guys might of used and what to do/not do.

ok, you take some large grain sandpaper and polish them off, then move to a slightly higher grit sand paper and make your way up till it is smooth to the touch, and the eye, make sure you are doing this in a buffing manuever, like rotating with the grain to make it appear proffesional, and when you are done buy some aluminum polish to finish it off
