I had good luck with the stuff Eastwood sells. Personally I wouldn"t expect much from the JC Whitney stuff. Theydo service a part of the market - but for restoration I tend to not trust anything that costs just $9.99. I did some summer work for a restoration shop polishing stainless trim plastic lenses and glass (mostly side windows from 60"s cars). I was amazed at the results that could be achieved with a ton of effort... not easy - but it can be done. actually this place sells a lot of specialized tools and restoration supplies. I once managed to reproduce rubber pads for the pedals with stuff from them ans swhile it wasn"t perfect - it did look great for a first attempt. Here"s the link to the polishing stuff http://www.eastwoodco.com/aspfiles/department.asp?dep_key1=plagla&UID=2003030511540566&SKW=FPG good luck Chelle > Hi Bob, > > I have always suspected that there was a way to polish out some of the > surface scratches.
