Are they installed in the car already? Where the polished before and you just need to repolish or are you tring to polish them

The panels are already on the car (not an ultima) and have not been polished before. Just trying to brighten them up a bit.

Any recommendations?

If you don't want to buff /polish them you may just try cleaning them with a metal polish. I like wenol, you can get it at summitracing.com part number WNL-Y335

I would try buffing the panels unless you remove them from the car, buffing / polishing is very messy and creates alot of black dust.
