Good Morning,

The stainless on this car is in good shape. There are dents and scratches but 90% of the trim is repairable (I think).

This is my first attempt at this. Before starting on the real trim I purchased a piece at a junkyard in similar condition. This will be the practice piece.

I have sandpaper grits ranging from 600 to 2500. The recommendation is to wet sand small sections at a time until a matt finish is achieved. Working through each grit until the luster is restored.

Any comments about this process would be appreciated.

My primary question concerns the buffing process. After reading several articles about buffing, including the Peggy Sue article, the correct buffer would be one with 3/4 hp. The article did not mention anything about RPM.

What would be a good buffer? This is not for a shop and I will probably sell it when I am finished (perhaps).

Thanks in advance for your response.
