2010 coupe window trim

[Hoolie]

Hi has anyone had problems with the chrome window trim discolouring.
I've just picked my new car up and at first I thought it was just wax residue but it's not coming off.
I was wondering about replacing the hole lot both sides front to back
Or getting them wrapped or sprayed gloss black to match the wheels & boot spoiler.

Common problem, have they gone milky ?

Yep, my c207 is the same, it's anodized chrome and goes like that, I've tried polishing the hell out of it, to no avail, wrapping might work, but it ain't easy, and spraying is another possibility but again would be quite a big job, the only thing I've not tried yet is machine polishing it like you would for polishing alloy wheels, as you can polish them to a mirror finish. Would have to be careful around the paint work though, perhaps use a small Dremmel type tool with a small polishing pad on it.

Thanks I'm guessing it's under the lacquer so it I'd have to take it all off to get to the chrome..... Think I'll get some quotes for wrapping then if it look a sod I can take it off.

Yeah they're going milky. I've been watching YouTube clips for wrapping them so I thought I'd try that.

I’ve tried all sorts to clean mine, to no avail.
Smart AMG has come up with a possibility of machine polishing , but again this would be difficult to do.

Definitely going to try wrapping so I'll up load some b4 & after pic's but it won't be for a few weeks, so watch this space

It is not Autosol, there is a post in the detailing section that talks about it, I would message them
