When I did all the stainless trim on my Corvair during my restoration I used a Harbor Freight polishing lathe and compounds. Worked great. Messy business though. Don't wear any clothes that you like, and construct a large box that you can put the lathe inside, with an open end towards you. That keeps the mess down a little. The only thing I wish for on the HF was a lower speed, but it worked.
