how to freshen up chrome window trim outside and plastic trim inside

Featured Replies

attached are 2 images that show cosmetic degradations with age and use. as I use the vehicle for work, I need to "freshen them up" a little for an inspection if possible. 

 

1) the chrome is scratched where the back passenger doors / windows are. but I am not sure if it is real chrome. would some sort of chrome wrap do the trick or would it need polishing?

 

2) the plastic trim inside (glove box as an example) is not dirty, wiping will not get rid as they appear to be friction marks left behind. anything I can do that restore original colour?

 

Thanks

Re the trim no, nothing will work I’m afraid, other than replacing the trim.  
On the glove box door, unfortunately the textured plastic has been damaged and again, nothing will bring it back to an original look. 

I would love to put a "black pack" on my next L&K, it's Business Grey and I think a black grill, mirrors, roof wrap and black trim would look super (a Sportline L&K) but there doesn't seem to be any aftermarket door tri kits.

Any advice??

I’m still trying to arrange getting all my chrome wrapped in gloss black on my L&K. Just need the time. Maybe when the school holidays start.

Yes. Very much so. I’ll be using Autoskins N.I to do mine.
