Polishing window frames? 68 different?

I just did a 1" test section on my window frame using 400, 600, 1000, 1500, 2000 grit sand paper and was impressed with the mirror like results - no more fine scratches. BUT I noticed that the frame must have some sort of clear coat protection because the outer areas got "foggy" unlike the area I sanded through - flashbacks from when I stripped one fuch. AND I was concerned about sanding through any chrome plating to raw metal. HOWEVER I do recall a few people telling me the 68 door frames are lighter due to the material. SO can someone shed some light in the subject for me?
Is the 68 door frame different from other model years? If I started with a rougher grade to wipe out some of the deeper scratches do I run the risk of going through any plating? I assume that much like polished fuchs a little bit more care will now be involved without the clearcoat. This might be thge excuse I need to scotch brite all the brightwork on the car .
