Any metal polishing experts about?

I've got to polish vast amounts of brass to a mirror(ish) finish and I'm trying to find out what size mop(s) to use, what speed to run it at and what soap(s) to use. Any help much appricated. Thanks.

"errrrrrrrr brasso?".......leaves to many swirl marks.

what is it sheet or cast and is it lumpy in shape?.......turned brass bar in a top hat shape about 2.5" dia. Need to just polish the base.

Supply of products not a problem but which products to order and technique is.
