Timing for the buffing. I started with black on one cotton wheel.

Another 10 minutes. I like it.

I need to go back and dress the edges a bit more, and then think about sealing.

But I made another problem for myself. The polished window track from the original right door looks so good, it makes the track from the replacement left door look bad.

Although it was never sanded, it has some big scratches near the upper end.

Now where did I put the original left door?

Back at you, Jared. Also doing my best to support all the 914 and restoration businesses! (imagine an avatar that involves throwing $20 bills)

So, after at least of foot of snow and blowing wing all night, I went to fetch the spare (original) left door. I was in a hurry to get the door, so did not take a photo then. Here is the spot.

Yup, just like I remembered, with PO black paint. And while the door looks OK, it has some serious bondo plus rust along the bottom seam.

About 30 minutes later, I had the door completely stripped and the front window channel out.

Truth time. What's under the black paint? Will it be better than the channel from the replacement door?

Sanding marks, but no gouges like the channel from the replacement door. Yay! We work with this.

That leaves a splotchy finish, which sands off easily.

Then polishing with first black and then white compound. Shiny!
