How to restore this trim?
My 2003 Mazda 6 has black trim on the B pillars. It's showing some age. I tried some OTC trim junk once and it washed onto the paint when it rained. How can I permanently correct this?

Paint them. That's usually what I see people do in cases like this

I always compound and polish these. I actually just did one. Don't think I have any before and afters but that's always worked for me

Same here, just completed my sister's car and they came out great! Better than expected and unfortunately, no pics with me as I'm at work.

Cool. Are you guys doing the polishing by machine or by hand? I have a GG6 so the 5.5" pads would leave gobs of polish in the cracks but I am looking for an excuse to order a GG3...

Nope just use your GG6. Just tape off all the trim around and you will be fine.

Another tip using the tape and your GG6 would be to open both doors so that you can tape off in between them (vehicle dependent + thin tape is fine here if you have some). This way you won't have anything in the middle crack to clean out and can do both sides at the same time, or back to back depending on the size of your pad(s). Saves me time!
