The stainless window frames I worked on just didn't look good enough, so I re-sanded and polished them one more time. The metal surface appears to vary in density, as some areas are easier to cut and polish. There are also veins of yellowish metal that resist sanding, and that don't change much by cutting deeper.
Compared to new, the finish is far from perfect, but compared to what I started with, they are beautiful. Guess I'll have to live with the slightly foggy appearance as well as the few pits that are too deep to remove. If the car is ever complete, the frames will be easy enough to upgrade with chromed Belvedere parts.
