I have a stock 91' Firebird and it is white. The strip that runs in the middle of the door always used to have yellow, goldish stains (I'm guessing water stains or something). Well, I finally got sick of seeing them on there. I took a brillo pad that I usually use to clean pots and pans and rubbed very gently. It all came off and it didn't leave any visible marks what so ever. I did this one the paint as well where they had an overspray. It came really white and looked good, but in the sun, it was really noticable what I had done. Luckily, for some reason my parents have a nice car buffer that they have never used, lol. So I broke it out and put it to work just to see if I could make it look good. I did a crappy job and it looked awesome so I can't wait till I have the time to do a good job

 

Just be sure that it doesn't come up to bite you in the A$$.. I've used compound that has screwed up the paint.. luckily before I got the thing painted.. thank god. hehehhe But best of luck to you
