Agreed, but I tend to stay with Nuvite. I tend to use the F7 on raw panels, C for second pass and S compound for final polish. To brighten weathered things like the lemans cap I try the S first and move up to C if needed only.

Then I sharkhide it, which dulls it a little but locks in the overall shine:
