polishing sounds like the way to go. I have all the tools needed to polish myself after polishing my 31 ft 1967 Airstream camper

Take The Header Panel Off Youll Be Alot Happier ,the Job Looks So Much Better If You Do ,in The Event You Damage Your Header Panel ,you Can Remove It Without A Paint Seam On The Fender Peeling Paint Off ,.

On polishing the window mouldings, if you haven't found out already, they're anodized aluminum. You really can't polish them unless you sand off the anodize. Wheel mouldings are stainless steel, and will polish with the right equipment. By the way, good luck with your new paint job. Looks great!
