Default Tool recommendation for car restoration

What tool should I get for a car restoration project?? Stuff to polish include stainless trim and hubcaps, chrome handles, emblems, bezels, etc.

Bench grinder? Die grinder? Electric angle grinder??

Bench machine. Beware polishing plated items by machine - you can easily go through the plating.
