RE: "Engine Turned" pattern in side trim

[Paul Lennemann <pjlenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have some questions about this thread.  I am currently in the process 
of polishing all the trim on my car before re-installing it.  On my 63 
the "engine turned trim" is stainless, not aluminum as has been 
indicated somewhere along this thread.  So being stainless I'm assuming 
that it is not anodized.  
To clean mine up I just laid it out on a flat surface and used a 
"cleaner/degreaser" and some terry cloth to get the gunk off and 
finished by going over it w/ a microfiber cloth.  On the back side it 
had some transferred rust from sitting against the sheetmetal and I used 
steel wool to remove that.
I've been using a 2 step process on a cotton buffing wheel on the rest 
of the stainless and while it doesn't get it to show quality it 
definitely makes it much shinier.  What should I do to maintain this?  
Just a little paste wax?
