Re: Headlight, cowl light, radiator shell Stainless Restoration?
A few suggestions:
1. Unlike aluminum the thin stainless steel warps and ripples easily. If your wheel is spinning too fast and you press the part into the wheel it will generate enough heat to locally warp/ripple the metal. I have seen '30-'31 radiator shells destroyed by this technique.
2. Be careful you don't catch an edge in the buffing wheel.
3. Draw a pattern of one inch squares on the parts with a felt tip and buff one square at a time, redraw and do it again.
4. Specialized compounds are available from places like Eastwood. Don't even think of using the stuff from a local hardware store.
5. Good luck.
