Well, either find someone like Roger Gibson and send it out to him, or try it yourself.  There's a book, "How to Restore Metal Auto Trim" by Jeff Lily, MBI Publishing.  It's a good read. 

I had some Duster wheelhouse trim.  In bad shape, hit with a grinder, DA, etc.  I just samded with progressively finer and finer sandpaper, then moved to the buffer.  Started with rouge on  a spiral wheel, worked through finer compounds with different wheels.  It looked good when I was done.  The tailight panel is aluminum, a bit more delicate, but it can be done.   :Twocents:
