Does anyone else here have the problem with the "chrome" around the windows getting a bit oxidised and looking a bit dull?
If so, what do you use to bring it all up shiny again? Any specific product or polish that does the trick? I'm a bit hesitant to hit it up with some of the more standard chrome/metal polish products as I think its more of a plastic trim and don't want to scratch it beyond any sort of repair. It looks alright from a distance but when you look at it close up, it really does show that there's blemishes and weirdness all over it. If others are doing the same you'll know what I mean, if not I'll try get a close up photo to show.

Funny you posted this today as I had planned to myself.
Anyway, I washed and waxed our Mondeo today and found that waxing and buffing the chrome with the car wax seemed to clean them up a bit. Would love to know if there is a product that restores to new though? |

Maybe some alcohol-type rub to get the blemishes off would do the trick?

Hi, as for the black pillars I used the poor boys professional polish on mine with an orbital and they came up brand new. Used to work on my FG falcon ute also. It's a really gentle polish and when the time come I might even try it on the chrome surrounds.
