Chris I go to my local tool shop who supply cheap buffing kits. With them come various buffing compounds, they work a dream. Also go to your local motorbike supplies shop, in mine I purchase different grades of polishing compounds, red, blue , white , buff and grey all in different grits again worth looking at. On some of my segmented work I do not apply any finish but just buff the wood and apply a hard polish (you have to put a sealer on first of course). Hope this helps.
