Well, on all of the wood/finished surfaces I use either Winzer Reflection surface enhancer,
which is stupid expensive by the way and my bottle is almost empty, or I use
Meguiar's PlastX and rub lightly. Much cheaper and works great.
On aluminum surfaces I use Mother's aluminum polish and an old t-shirt and rub lightly.
Although I play lap steel, I do have a solid aluminum guitar by Innovative Guitars and I just
finished rebuilding a Marrs Catcan and I added a lot of new aluminum parts.
The PlastX and the Mother's is what I used and they look amazing, at least to me.

Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Professional Swirl Remover 2.0. Does a fantastic job of cleaning and getting rid of body oils, ciggie residue, etc.. Then California Customs M-RON GLASS.
http://www.californiacustom.com/mron_glass.html
For aluminum, California Custom Purple Polish
http://www.californiacustom.com/purple_metal_polish.html
Less than 5 minutes later. Virtually no rubbing. Pretty much just wipe it on and wipe it off. Use the Oxidizer if the aluminum is really dull and gray.

The Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Professional Swirl Remover 2.0. will clean down to the original clean lacquer. Then wax with whatever you like,
