How do the polishing sticks compare with something like a Cape Cod cloth? More abrasive? Less abrasive? Totally different thing?

They have three grades on them, the most coarse isn't coarse like sand paper, it just leaves a matte finish, good for deeper scratches, then use the next one down for a slightly less matte finish, then the finest for a final polish.
The finest doesn't give as shiny a shine as Cape Cod cloth, but is more than good enough under lugs. On top you can always do the final finish with Cape Cod, the Bergeon stick will have saved a lot of elbow grease in the meantime.
If it's a polished finish, I think Bergeon Diamantine (powder) mixed with a bit of oil works really well, you don't really need that much effort to buff out scratches by hand with that and the finish is pretty good, if the finish is brushed Garryflex blocks work quite good I think, if it's blasted you're screwed anyway.
Ouch ... ouch!
