Refinishing stainless steel trim

you need to remove imperfections before polishing so sanding first. 400-800-1200-(2000+ if you want to go nuts) then buff with a sisal wheel. green compound is for stainless. Like body work, the quality of the finish is in the prep, so more time taken at the beginning will give you a better finished result. with a bit of time you can make them show quality easily. i finish with mothers polish. Stainless is hard, you may want to use a D/A for sanding rather than hand sanding.
