Look into purchasing an Eastwood polishing kit as I mentioned in post 7. You need to use polishing compounds for a mirror finish. Be careful though using the buffer since the it is easy to wrap the trim around the shaft if the buffing wheel grabs it. I've used this setup to do all the stainless on the truck and my 58 Vette to a mirror finish.
For a buffer I use an old sump pump motor strapped onto a cradle made of a couple V-notched pieces of 2X6 attached to the end of my workbench. Cheap and works fine. Eastwood also used to sell an arbor to use with a motor such as mine. Harbor Freight sells some inexpensive bench buffers.
