What to use ,in which steps. Are these originally anodized? When done do I need to re-anodize? Wax? Something new for me....

I used the kit from the Eastwood company.
Worked great.

If you are referring to the grill trim, yes it is anodized (the rocker mouldings were too, if you have them). Best way to polish (if you are not re-anodizing them) is spray them with oven cleaner to remove all the old anodizing. It will turn almost white looking when its all gone. Then I used the grey compound from eastwood, and a small buffing pad (wool) attached to an air drill to bring the shine back, then swapped to a small foam pad and used wendol polish in a tube to finish. It turned out great, but without the anodizing, you will have to repolish it every-so-often.
