Another polishing question

Now that I'm a madman with my new buffing machine, are there any secrets for preserving the screened/painted labeling on some components? I polished up my Bridgestone brake calipers and the Bridgestone label came right off. It actually came off just rubbing with Simichrome before I hit it with the buffer. My Cyclone derailleur label seems a tad more durable but I'm skipping round the label by hand which leaves that area a little less lustrous than the rest of the piece. I see a lot of high-polish parts on The Bay with no labels which leads me to believe its a hazard of the craft. Anyone got this figured out?
