Tough to do. Taping it off and spray painting it might be your best choice. Depends on if you want it to look perfect or just better.

 

I recently purchased a 08' Treg and all the chrome window trim was badly oxidized :frown2: I tried using Turtle Wax-med polishing compound, by hand, with very little success. Frustrated, I busted out my Dremel Rotary tool with the 1" felt polishing wheel and WOW, good results. I masked off (3m green masking automotive tape) one window at a time and worked one 12 inch section of trim at a time. Simply used a Q-tip to spread the compound on a 12" length of the trim and worked it over with the Dremel/polish wheel at about 3.5k to 4k rpm. It's a bit messy so be prepared to clean up the money shot :grin2: but I'm satisfied with the results. Don't forget to use a micro fiber towel (or other buffing towel) for the final clean up. (Wish I would've took pics but believe me it was oxidized bad.)

Good luck! :smile2:

thanks much appreciated!

 

Mine is also fading at the back window. I was planning on spraying it black. If you fix yours, please let me know and help me to fix mine also. Its Very Ug-Lee

 

Chrome polish from mothers worked for me, took some elbow grease but its back to normal now

 

no just the chrome polish from mothers and what I meant be elbow grease is a lot of rubbing it in, should get good results.

The easy way is to wipe WD40 on the trim. Makes it look like new!

I tried that and it did not work. I think the oxidation on my chrome trim is severe to the point that WD40 cannot help. I'm wanting to try the
chrome polish from mothers

 

can we paper sand them and then polish it ?
I'd like to take off small scratch on it

 

Yes!
Although I used a dremel to polish the majority of my window chrome trim, I actually used 1000 grit sandpaper plus Turtle wax-chrome polish to shine mine back to life. (I did this because my dremel battery died and I was on a mission to finish removing all the corrosion from the chrome trim.) Worked well! (Disclaimer...test on a small spot and do this at your own risk.)
