What can I use to polish up this "chrome" trim?

[emmjay]

Hey guys,

1. I have a Pilot to work on from tomorrow and the front "Chrome" grille surrounds are quite faded and have a lot of spots.

How can I polish it out? I only have M205, UP, UC, Sonax 3/6 and Megs NXT Metalpolish.

I would like to try my best and make this car look brand new.

2. Also, will M205 or UC on a Orange pad be enough to clean up some haze on the headlights? I have no clue how to sand and such and just want to improve the look.

TIA

Works great: Mothers California Gold All-Chrome Cleaner

I've gotten great results with 3d HD Metal and microfiber towels. That being said, I'd try the metal polish you have with some microfibers and see how it does. Chrome is pretty hard and doesn't scratch easy compared to paint. Just try what you have, see what works and go with it. I don't think you'll cause any harm.

As for the headlights, the orange pad and UC should be more than enough to really make a difference. I've cleared up foggy headlights with a cyan hydro shred pad and Blackfire SRC compound in one step. Your combo would be about the same

Thanks guys!!

The only thing I am worried about is that this trim is not real chrome :/ - It feels like plastic coated with a chrome "finish".

Goin Rogue sent a good product but unfortuantely I do not have that product in the UAE and no time to order anything.

I forgot to mention I also have P21s multi finish restorer - P21S® Multi-Surface Finish Restorer- This extraordinary German car polish from P21S will bring back luster and reflective brilliance.

Would this work?

It is plastic chrome.
However, that P21s product sounds like the stuff! I've never used it, but it sounds like it's the bomb.

P21S is my go to works awesome on chrome. I use it to polish my chrome wheels after winter when They have all that calcium build up. The results are amazing.

I use P21S® Multi-Surface Finish Restorer on chromed plastic. An AIO works well too. KIAO or ZAIO have worked well for me the past

I kinda like the old school stuff like turtle wax chrome cleaner and polish.
