- Restoring stainless steel trim for a classic car or truck is a time consuming task. This video shows how to remove dents from stainless trim, how to remove scratches in stainless and how to polish stainless steel trim on a classic car or truck. Our example includes four window reveal moldings for a 1966 Chevy Nova. They were dented and scratched, and needed serious restoration to match our new paint job on the car. Follow along as we hammer out the dents, file the stainless and then sand with various grits to accomplish a scratch free finish, and then polish to a beautiful shine with a bench buffing wheel.

Thank you for this video! I'm going o
To have a lot of stainless to restore when I get my toy here. I found my dads '71 Chevelle wagon that he sold in '91 and I'm buying it back.
Nice!
Great job on fixing and cleaning up that trim man. Respect. Can't wait to see it on that '66 deuce.
The outside is getting very close to completion. Next will be interior but we’ll probably drive it as is for a little while.
Great information! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Where do you buy your compound?
I bought it from Summit Racing. They have a nice selection of wheels and compounds.
The buffer you're using is too weak for the job. The tiny central pneumatic one is supposed to be used for small items like jewelery. When you can stall the motor with your work piece, it's too weak of a buffer. Yours is really meant for jewelery or small items. I have a 1.5 HP belt driven pedestal buffer that's bolted to the ground and can handle any amount of force and you can really lean into it. I would say 3/4 HP is the absolute bare minimum for doing any large type of items (hubcaps, bumpers, etc)
