Polishing/cleaning chrome trim?

Post by Jewel 25 »

Is it possible to polish the chrome trim on the bump strips? Any suggestions on what to use?

Regards

As the 'chrome' on these is covered with plastic, there is not much that can be done. You can try something that is to be used on PVC cabriolet rear screens if they are scratched or not glossy enough. If they start to turn yellow or white there is not much you can do.

You can probably buy a roll of replacement trim for the cost of the cleaning product tbh. I can't remember the name of the place that sells it though, sorry!

Thanks for the advice. To be honest they look fine. The "chrome" number plate surround at the back is useless though . It has started to discolour. They do look rather good though.
