Default How to polish the chrome around windows on doors?

How can I make the chrome around my windows on the doors shine again. They were dull when I bought it and would like to get the shine restored. Thx

Hi Rainbowboy,

Heres an interesting post and there are lots more if you have the time o search?

This is an X Type, but I believe that all chrome on most cars is subject to weathering and corrosion/erosion or sunlight.

I use Pureguard, but most decent shampoos and waxes are suitable including Autoglym well recommended!!!

I tend to run finger circles into it and when it's dry to buff it out with a clean cloth.

If you use a buffer remember to mask off the paintwork and if you like Joycesjag by Ricky, then by all means go for the replacement, but I am not sure how easy it is to remove with the X Type?

Good Luck and don't go too heavy? I usually do! DOH! Regards, Stu
