sorry guys, I have been relying on one mf my neighbors unsecure wireless connection and either he forgot to pay his bill, or he moved or something
anyways,
Fish, I bought a set of three different sized buffing wheels and 3 different grades of wax sticks(red, gray, and white) and have that attached to my cordless drill. it works ok, but for nooks & crannies I will need something smaller, probably a dremel with a felt cone or something along those lines. I'll tackle that over the winter, right now I just want it to look better than it did.
the test spot that I did was on the cooling fins, and they have a coating on them
I'm glad to know that I'm not the only person who has done this, and even happier to figure out that it is fixable
