What polisher do you use for 3 piece barrel lips?

It’s first shine detail in 3 years

I used the power ball, it sucked for my needs. So I just went with good ol' forearm/shoulder blade back and forth power.

And I remember that my step lips were clear coated over the polish. The mother's did help bring back that shine. But just like regular clear coat, it's left that haze of over years wiping. So the wheel builder told me to use paint polish. I have chemical guys scratch and swirl remover, CG compound 32, 34, 36, 38 (I think is what they were) and Maguires mirror glaze. I'll see which of those does the trick.

Yup
Two pics of the same spot.
Clear coat hazing in direct light.
Perfect shine in the shade.
