[Chrysler300] Buffing Glass and Stainless to greatly improve appearance.

["tonybraams" <tonybraams@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recently buffed up a 57 Chrysler rear screen. 
It wasn't in the best shape, due to a scratch and a rock chip.
But it now looks ten times better.
I used a 7 inch sander / buffer, set on slow speed.
I rethreaded a buffing spindle that normally attaches to a bench
grinder, to match it's mounting thread.
Then a stitched or loose cloth mop, of 5 or so inches diameter,
threads onto the tapered spindle.
Best to cut off the protruding spike of the spindle, from the buff
pad, once fitted, to minimize a big accident resulting in no window.
Maybe also cap the end of the spindle with a rubber tip.
Then feed a hard white buffing block of cutting compound, that is made
for polishing stainless onto the rotating pad and then go evenly and
not too concetrated for long in one spot, to eliminate too much heat
in an area. 
You'll need the extra screw in handgrip, to maximize control of this
setup.
This is one way to transform reasonable or even bad glass or dull
stainless, into something of much better appearance.
As with buffing paint, avoid sharp edges and hooking up.
Often better to do alot of this work, without removing the part, from
your car, it is usually adequately supported while attached, check
that it is firstly.
This is the way I've been doing the job for years and never had any
problem.
Must do's are keeping your eye on the power lead, you don't want that
hooking up around your buff. This way is probably only advisable, for
power outlets, supported by a power cutoff trip switch.
Much care is required, wear a dust mask and eye protection etc. 
This might solve a problem for a few members, in getting glass and
stainless looking alot better.
