Help - perhaps I am not equal to classic car ownership!

With the Western Washington All British Field Meet coming up in a few weeks
I've been trying to get Ginger looking her best.  I decided to try polishing
up the rear bumper and read on the web - http://www.autopia-carcare.com -
that you could use fine steel wool or a  kitchen scouring pad.  WARNING - do
not use a kitchen scotchbrite pad!!!!  My question is: without doing any
more harm - how do I bring the 4" x 6" dull area I created back to full
luster?  I believe that as long as the chrome remains this is possible.

Second question - I have two small areas on the boot lid where the paint is
showing cracks and slight lifting.  I am a long way away from wanting or
needing to repaint the car.  What can I do to keep these from lifting
anymore.

Please share your wisdom.
