I used a dual action polisher with 3m compound super duty compound on a wool pad, then a foam waffle polish pad w 3m micro-fine glaze and finally a black waffle foam pad w 3m glaze. It was a process. As for the moldings, I purchased a pneumatic Ingersol-Rand headlight polish kit. It had a wool pad, and 3 different foam polish pads. I used Mothers aluminum mag wheel polish on the polisher and the moldings came right up. Unbelievable they look new.. Again, it was a process over a couple of weekends but it makes all the difference.
