I would like to polish my windshield trim under and between my t-tops, anyone have any luck bringing this to a mirror finish?

Ive polished mine with good results, however, not to an absolute "mirror" finish. I did it by hand using "seimchrome" polish which is available in most motorcycle shops. It's excellent on most any metal or plastic but not really cheap. There are a multitude of polishes out there including one called "wenol" that is good also but semichrome is readily available here.

You can make it like new with a buffing wheel and rouge. It goes fastest if you start coarser and go finer.

I did my stock door sills like Larry said and buffed them with rouge. I got a starter kit from Home Depot. The same should work for your application. Then I used my bench top grinder. It was a lot of work, but got a good shine. They also make a rouge just for stainless steel.

This is funny.... Todd and I were thinking alike.... I just posted a similar question during the same time period. At least I know now I am not alone...... Between the 2 posts we should get some good ideas! Thanks in advance for those who reply!!!!!
