Not too shy to talk

After cleaning off paint overspray from earlier paint jobs with steel wool I used a buffing wheel (well, a bench grinder temporarily doing double duty as a buffing wheel). I did two stages: First, something with a medium grit. Then, jeweler's rouge. This brought out a nice shine, but I didn't bring it to a mirrorlike finish because it would have just accentuated all of the dings in the trim.

Once I cleaned all the residual polishing compound off, I mounted the pieces and then hit it with a stainless steel cleaner (Goddard's). I'm pretty happy with the results. The process was a lot of work, but it looks better than I've ever seen it.
