0000 STEEL WOOL. the more zero's that is on it the finer it is. used it to clean all the polished stainless on my Pete. then go over with some polish.

They make rubbing compound, swirl remover, and various grades of polishing compound. It can be found at any good automotive paint store. I'm sure there are products which are less expensive, and will work just as well for your application. Try an auto parts store, or silverrams suggestion.

Reg Steel wool will only increase the amount of work down the road as it embeds small pieces of steel that will rust into your surface.
Use Stainless Steel wool if you need too, but I prefer to use some 1500-2000 grit wet/dry paper then follow up with a nice polish.

I think these are all pretty much the same formulation. I used to use the all metal polish to polish jetboats. Its nice because it leaves a nice wax on top...
