Polishing titanium bike frame

I have a titanium bike frame with a bead blasted finish. I used Scotchbrite finishing pads which correspond to 00 steel wool to give it a brushed satin look. I have a 0000 equivalent pad which I have not used yet. What can I use to polish the frame beyond that? What can I use as a protectant after polishing to avoid surface staining?

Lemon Pledge will do a great job. The smell isn't too bad either. Best Regards from Germany.
