Im going to start buffing some of the trim on my Dart. There are 3 different types of trim to polish. The aluminum that I sanded and buffed seems to have come out well and Im happy with it. Now whats left is the stainless trim around the rear window and down the top of the trunk, the taillights that are pot metal plated, and then there will be the door sills. I think those are the different ones.
So the the first question is about the stainless trim. The trim that I have to repair and file, then sand, then buff. What are the steps of filing, sanding of what grits, then the buffing rouge you use?
Then when doing the plated pot metal on the taillights, i am assuming no sanding just buffing? and what rouge? also do I have to be careful of to much pressure or to much heat build up while buffing?
And lastly, when doing the door sill plates do you sand or just buff?
Thanks for any hints and help yo can pass on.
