Tips on polishing stainless steel?

[Hray]

Tinker: nice photo of what I tried to portray. that small makita sander with a 4 or 6 inch pad will do the same thing as the grinder. Only the makita is very light and you can use it for hours at a time without getting muscle burn in the forearms. I did not know about the grease thing, I did learn to use drips of olive oil on the surface to allow the compound on the pad to work a littel better. I used olive oil because I knew I was going to get this stuff on my skin and if not wearing face protection some there as well. I have about 10 different pads and about 4 different sizes ready to interchane on the makita. with the real small two inch pads it make getting into smaller areas easier. I will also place two layers of masking tape against the paint next to the stainless on the car and polish it on the car. when restoring a car I polish the stainless on the car, then remove it, package it, and store it, it is now ready to reinstall after new paint.
10-4 on getting nasty dirty, wear a shop apron and face shield.

and I agree, nothing like getting intimate with your car and polishing that stuff yourself.

finally is that caswells's forum here on club cobra or at another website.
