Beginning Polish
Just started polishing our new to us '65 Ambassador.

This is just the small portion on the back we were using as a test. Stripped off the old plastic coating and buffed it to a shine with the buffer and compound.

The second picture you can see where we stopped.. the left is polished and the right is what it looked like when we started.
