Can I electropolish my Delorean SS car body?

I am the owner of a Delorean car which has a SS 304 body. There are 8 removable body panels.
Delorean owners complain of having to polish their cars more than driving them. Is it feasible to electropolish the panels. Can they be done in any other way than submersing in a bath?

Yes, they can be electropolished, but you may have to mechanically polish them to a finer finish than factory original first.

Tank polishing is the only way to get a uniform finish on large panels.
