Hi,

I'd use T-Cut, its a very fine grit in a liquid that removes oxidation and
dirt (and also a little paint). Don't use it too much or you could go
through the paint to the primer.

I used TR-3 Resin Glaze. It worked very well for me and was easy to apply.
I bought it at Checkers Auto store. It's in a blue and chrome can/bottle.

It's called compound. :-)
Use an electric or air buffer & "micro-polishing" compound & then paste
wax.
You'll have to be careful not to take too much paint off &/or burn the
edges. Might be better to have it buffed at a clean-up shop & then keep it
paste waxed yourself.
