The folks at Micro Surface Finishing Products (https://secure.biznetzone.net/micro-surface/) supply cotton flannel cloths with their restoration kits and they work just fine for the polishing operation.  I'm sure you could secure some nice soft flannel cloth at a local fabric store, a yard cut into 10" or 12" square polishing cloths would probably last the lifetime of your aircraft.  Run them through a wash and then a dry cycle before use to get them really soft.  I restored the windshield on my motorcycle using the MSFP acrylic restoration kit and then finish-polished with Novus #2 with a wool buff followed by Novus #1 using cotton flannel for the final polish... worked like a charm.  (Novus products are in the ACS catalog, BTW.)  I hope this helps.
