2007 escalade has a lot of fake chrome. oxidation and spots are on the chrome. What is the best way to clean and polish this?
Some plastichrome isn't too stout. I'd try something fairly gentle first like Nevr Dull. Unless your trim is severely damaged I'd think that oughta shine it up.
Though, another user in that thread stated that it had bad effects on his plastic chrome grill, the center caps Dubbin worked on were plastic too and had great results so I'd just test it in a small area first.
I used Nevr Dull on an Infiniti plastic chrome grill and it scratched it. Same goes for some chrome wheels. However, worked great on chrome exhaust tips. Go figure.

Interesting, I've been using Nevr Dull for 20+ years and never saw it scratch. Nothing abrasive about it... except sometimes a fresh tin has little nubbin's in the cotton near top and bottom. I usually yank off a hunk towards the fluffy middle if I'm working on anything delicate.
I have some after market items. first step is to maintain it from the get go . some of the cheaper made stuff will just get bad from winter/salt if u live in those states. before finding ag I have always used mothers chrome polish , turtle wax chrome polish . shines it up nice , some protection . now I use optimum metal polish, collinite metal wax . if just too bad will just have to replace it which I have done living in Wisconsin = bad winters and dreaded road salt . maintain it and keep it protected .
For the platic chrome you may want to try a non abrasive cleaner polish first. IMO NeverDull is probably not the best thing to try first on plastichrome
