What this guy said:
Flour / corn starch works great for “soaking” up the residue, but be sure to get it out of the screw heads. It’s hard as a rock when it dries and you’ll be sorry when it’s time for an annual!
Recently, someone gave me a bottle of something called “The Intimidator Polish”. It’s a liquid, not a paste, so that means less sludge to remove. It beats my old favorite which used to be Simichrome paste. 1-877-PRO-POLISH.

Basically it’s a 1hp electric motor mounted on top of a heavy caster base. You can use a combination of rouges. The cotton wheel can be dressed with a rake, so it can last quite a long time.
New models go for over $1,000, but the one I used was purchased for about $150 at a used equipment dealer.

One "polishing party" was all it took to convince our group to paint our BT-13. When we did polish it, Mother's seemed to work well.
When it can time to paint my T-6 I put on silver mettalic.
