Don't have any buffing tools and applying by hand after doing a thorough wet sand with 1500,2000 then all the micro mesh pads up to 12.000. Once 'as smooth as' after doing all the wet sanding, dry the body and then apply a liberal amount, not too much, of meguiars so that you can get an even spread on surface you are working, then simply rub hard with an open weave cloth (chux) and eventually it goes cloudy as it dries. Next step is to grab a clean microfibre polish cloth (can be bought at Super Cheap) and do your best at buffing by hand. Repeat on the other side and then work your way around the sides and curves.

I have used Brasso a bit in the past but it is very abrasive and burns in really quickly so you need lots of layers to sacrifice if using that stuff. Had a spare bottle of Nu Finish and on the Swampy Tele had a crack with some on it and was blown away with how well it came up that I have used it on the ES1 & MMB4 too.
