Help, chrome or aluminum exterior trim accents showing oxidation

[ropese]

Hello, what used to be the shinny trim around the windows and other exterior frame of my 2019 Infiniti has cloudy spots all over. I believe this is oxidation, right? How can I remove the oxidation and restore the shine? Is it something a detailer or body shop can remove? Thank you

GYEON Q2 TRIM.

Also, look into wrapping it. Will look way better. I'm biased though.

Thanks for the suggestion. It’s a lease vehicle. I’m just looking to remove the oxidation at this time.

If the exterior trim is Chrome or Aluminum you can use a Metal Polish to remove the oxidation. Once you remove the oxidation apply a Metal Sealant for added protection.

BLACKFIRE Metal Polish 16 oz.

Then just clean and apply Q2 Trim. It's common on anodized aluminum. Here's a before and after of a VW (it's very common on German brands)






Keep in mind, mine was a lease too. Doesn't take much $ to wrap the trim. Worth it if it's not too far along into your lease. YMMV.

I polished my metal exhaust with Pinnacle Exhaust Cleaner polish and a Lake Country Exhaust Polishing Pad and the exhaust cleaned up nicely. Then I put Collinite 850 metal polish on and nothing sticks to the exhaust,I just wipe the shrouds with a towel during the wash and the exhaust tips look as good as new. So you could consider Collinite 850 too.

Thank you all. I figured I would add a couple pictures to confirm this is oxidation.
