With my current restoration I've played with a lot of methods of polishing, and perfected something that works fairly quickly and is very effective.
Hope it helps someone:

While I did look at your polishing, I also went through your story of the restoration of the Covair. What a project! And, what a fine job you are doing. After reading what you have to go through for parts, it makes things look quite simple here in the U.S.

Good Luck with the project, it looks like you will be driving the car very soon.

Congratulations on such a fine project! I especially like the way you have closely documented and detailed each step of the project. I think I learned something new at every step.

Please keep us posted on your updated progress.

Richard,
Thats a very large project you have taken on and I have been following your restoration.I do wish you good luck with however I feel you won't need it. I do have a question about the polishing of the trim.HOW LONG DID YOU LET IT SOAK IN THE DRAIN CLEANER.I would like to try this method but don't want to screw it up.
