Polishing some 73 year old Vintage Headlights for Automobiles

++++

Hello Metal Masters,

This is Rob in NH, I am building a 1931 Chevrolet TUB Hotrod from Junkyard parts and OEM Chevy peices that came from the car or were bought off Ebay, One of these items is some very LARGE (10" inch OD) Stainless steel headlight buckets that have a flat glass face, LUCKILY For the most part of being 73 years old they are just "scratchy" from being handed person to person, Best part is they are STAINLESS STEEL..

So my "finishing question" is: How can I get them to a nice mirror finish again without ruining them OR who can I send them to? and what should I pay? Would like someone in NH OH..

There is 160 pages of READING on my car here: http://www.ammoman.com/chevy

Enjoy!
