Looking for DIY trim restore tricks

I restored the Trim on a Chevelle bac in a previous life lol.... What was the main tool for the job? PATIENCE...... That's an accurate statement.

Past that it was body work tools, anvil, Sanding DA with grits from probably 180 to 600. It's been 15 years so I may be off on that but it was a tedious process in steps to remove the dents, get it all strait, and then slowly sand until I hit it with the compounds and the polishing wheel on the Buffer. The one thing I can remember is it all came of Harbor freight to do the job.
