looks like ur gonna HAVE to sand it... I wouldn't wanna sand and buff an ss paint job either, but be real delicate, use a high grit sandpaper, and then buff it. I've heard of people color sanding ss paint jobs, but it's real rare. I think as long as you be sure and be real delicate so as to not penetrate the surface too much, youll be good.

I did this a while back, and it worked!
Put the car outa the sun, pick one area and keep it wet for 12 to 24 hours. The guy in the local paint store said if its water based (most are) it will sofen enough to be "scraped" of with a fingernail!
Good luck.
