grill oxidization

Hey all,

What's the best way to get oxidization off the grill of my 78?

grill oxidization

I've used a good quality polishing compound and a soft buffing wheel on my 3/8" electric drill int the past, with very good results.

This will also work on the chromed plastic headlight bezels, as well.
