What's the best way to polish fog light grills? I have the air polisher pictured below. As illustrated in the second pic below, it looks like the wool pad will fit between the slats of the grill. I was thinking of trying to use some Mothers Plastic Polish with the polisher. Would that work on this material (appears to be some kind of chromed plastic)? Or would it too easily burn through the finish??
