    Windshield Molding Rub Marks

    I'm wondering if anyone has experience in cleaning up marks on windshield molding. I'm guessing the marks happened when I had a rock chip in my windshield repaired. No one else will probably notice them but me, but they're there! They're not deep like scratches, but more like rubs where the color is slightly lighter.

    I tried using ECH2O, which helped slightly but looking for something to help get these marks closer to the original black if possible.

    Clean with APC and alcohol and apply Solution Finish and top with their new topper.

    Just checked AG to see what the name of their new topper was and it was not posted. I believe in synergy, but using Car Pro's Dlux or Wolfgangs Exterior Trim Sealant will work.

    Can you take a larger picture? Those pictures look like B pillars, but you said windshield.

    I cropped the first ones to try and show the marks better. It's on the A pillar.

    Here are a couple more.

    Now I'm wondering if it's easier/better just to replace it?

    Thanks again!
