Best polish for gel cap and sides of 5th Wheel

I'd like to hear what's recommended for polishing my 5th wheel. I tried a spray application and liquid application, but the results were less than what I'd want. It still left streaks on the gel cap...

Do you have a preference over liquid or paste? Is one better than the other?


I have used both. Paste is easier to apply with a power buffer. Liquid is easier by hand. But when it is cold liquid can separate and be difficult to apply.
