very good question .... metal polishes are usually much to harsh for plastic coated trim. I usually use an AIO on it and seal/cover with wax or sealant for addtl protection.

Its real chrome. It is on my 94 Lincoln Mark VIII it is the trim around the tail lights and the front grille.

I'd try DG 501 1st and then if it still needs more, any light rubbing compound will do. follow up with DG 105 or any long-duration sealant.

Should I apply 105 by hand or with the PC?

I would start with 501 by hand and then seal with 105 by hand also. Sorry for the delayed response.
