Re: What Do You Use To Polish This?

I've used stuff from here with good results.
If you use the right buffing compounds and polishes it comes out shiny.

Get it as smooth as you can with 1200 grit or finer wet/dry sandpaper first. Then use the Eastwood compounds. Use a bench buffer if you can take the grille off and manhandle it yourself well enough to avoid damage (or have a helper with steady hands).

Uummm....maybe consider toothpaste? It is very mild and some brands have materials that are basically abrasive. Seen it done with impressive results. If you do this, try it on a test piece if possible first.
