Default blue or green compound for final polish?

hey,just trying to get some input about the blue and green compounds.
i've just finished an aluminum motorcycle brake lever,it looks great exept at certain angles,it has very light surface scratches or "lap marks".i've gone from a hand drill to a 1/2 horse bench polisher(sooo much faster + brighter shine)i'm still getting used to the change and i'm not sure if i used too much pressure on a loose cotton wheel with white compound.i've done a little research on caswells site,but not sure wich compound would help me achieve that perfect "SHINE" wihtout lap marks. thanks for your time.

If you want a perfect shine use blue moon compound with flannel whell.
