Re: Polishing trim

Buffing wheel. Only thing that I have gotten to work well.
I use a black (rough) heavy cut compound then green (med) compound that polishes it.

Re: Polishing trim

Anywhere online or at lowes or harbor freight. I use a 1968 craftsman bench grinder with the buffing wheels attached. Buy the compounds online if you can. They are usually a lot bigger
