Looks great.Ive just clay barred my lachs silver sport too and it doesn't half make a difference.need to get new badges and m technic stickers to make it look mint.

Sorry for not replying sooner, clay the trim and try 303 aerospace protectant, works well with plastics/rubber. If that doesn't do it there are other options, feel free to PM me if you want any further advice
