cleaning chrome window trims

[jimbob29]

im going to give the car a good clean and polish and want to tidy up the trim around the windows as its dull and patchy will t cut do the job or shall i just get chrome polish???

[Jim320i]

Front/back windows or side windows pal?

If its the front and back, you would need to replace with new as they cant be polished up, its a clear rubber strip with chrome colour in the middle...


The sides, Try something like brasso? or autosol?

I've been struggling with this. I tried autosol but never really got any results as far as getting rid of the staining/pitting. I tried some meguiars deep crystal wax that i was doing the car with, and although it didn't get rid of the marking, it put such a deep shine on it that it was barely noticable.
After seeing what their wax did to it i'm definately going to try out meguiars metal polish, which i have also read rave reviews about. It's meant to be better than autosol/peek. Has anyone on here used it for anything before?

megs metal polish should do the job, need to use some elbow grease at the same tome through on metal.

the foil thing is bit funny im not sure if im doing it right although it does make a lot of dirt come out of the chrome, hmm i wonder i wonder. . . . let this dam weather clear up and im gonna attempt it on a good part of the chrome which is jus faded nothing else!

So ive given it a huge attack in one part of it with 3m fastcut... There is some improvement but nothing to gloat about!!!


And then i did a little more...

Its ok! I've tried flatting them with 1500 wet or dry and mopping one up at work...

Outcome is almost the same. they do look loads better now
