I've finished a full detail of my GLK and the chrome door trim is the only item that is not cleaning up as well as I would like. Clay bar got it to about 60%, follow-up polish to 80%. I even tried an aggressive compound but no improvement over the polish. Autosol did not work either. It is now very shiny (but pitted?). Anyone have any success with other products or am I better off just removing the trim altogether?

PITS?

Picture?

way to remove pits is to remove material around pit and blend all together... do yo ureally want to grind away on this?

2015 GLK Trim

that is not pit that looks like the chrome or whatever is worn off and plastic underneath is showing...

OR it is some sort of stuff stuck on on trim...

Are parts all metal or chrome "plated" plastic?

You're probably right as it is smooth to the touch. Time to remove or replace I guess. Maybe wrap?
I am 99% certain it is chrome plated plastic.

wrap is good idea... they make chrome wrap as I saw a C class around town that was wrapped in chrome.....

Hideaus to me...but it was chrome everywhere
