Frank,
I buffed my stainless trim and valve cover using a buffing wheel attached to
my 3/8 drill. It is somewhat of a pain to hold the parts while buffing but
it worked. I bought all the necessary goodies from my local Ace Hardware.
A breakdown of required materials can be found at
http://www.caswellplating.com/pickabuff/stainless.htm. A primer on buffing
in general can be found at http://www.caswellplating.com/Buffbook.PDF.
Good Luck
Tom Hill

Subject: Polishing Stainless Trim
Hi,
I'd like to polish some of the stainless trim for my Tiger, specifically I'd
like to clean up some light to moderate scratches on the windshield frame
trim. What equipment will I need for this? Can I buy buffing wheels for my
bench grinder that will do the trick? What type of wheels do I need? What
type of buffing compound? I've never polished stainless before but I keep
hearing that it is easily possible at home with great results. Any help
would be appreciated!!
