Default polishing new lacquer

When your project is "finished." what do you use to buff out the final layer of clear gloss ? I tried some expensive stuff,but it really doesn't do the job..

Do you just use some thing like an automotive compound ?

I've use 3M "rough" and "fine" cut rubbing compound with success

I sand to 5000 Trizact then use 3M micro fine compound ( don't have name in front of me) or Finesse-It. Sounds excessive but I don't need to buy or use any high abrasive compounds not have its dust flying around.
