What can I use to gloss up the window trim, it's been sitting for about 2 years now. I am thinking of getting a new bench grinder and maybe getting some buffing wheels, will this work or is the bench grinder too fast?

Any info on compounds would help too.

Thanks

I like to use mothers polish on any of my chrome, works real well and you might have it laying around the garage.

I have done this a lot over the past ten years and am redoing my present ones as we speak. A bench grinder will work just fine, rpm in the 3000 range or thereabouts.

All you need are the correct buffing compounds and wheels. I've used The Eastwood Company exclusively for this. There are several stages to go through depending on the condition of the moldings. You can check them out at www.eastwoodcompany.com (http://www.eastwoodcompany.com) .

Good luck.

EDIT - here's the breakdown of what you may need, going from course to fine:

- Emery Compound with Sisal Wheel.
- Stainless Compoind with Spiral Sewn Wheel.
- White Rouge Compound with Loose Section Wheel.

I would estimate you would need at least the last two combinations. Possibly the first one if there are some serious scratches.
