Started buffing on some of the stainless trim. Did this a few weeks ago. Was time consuming, but not hard at all. First time I had ever done this. I left the piece on the car so I wouldn't have to make a holder for it. Works well if you are going to strip & repaint the car as I plan to do. It does buff the surrounding paint right off. This piece was scratched up. Still has some light swirls in it. I need to get a new wheel & hit it one more time for that final finish. Yes I know it has a nick or two, but its going to be a driver & I think it came out very good.

This is a pic of the other side for an idea of how bad the stainless was. This side has a nice bend in it & I'm not sure how to fix that. So I may have to buy another piece.

Like they say progress is progress and besides what else are you going to do besides watching the tv.
