Chrome Polishing
Hello-
I've just purchased a 2008 B7 S4. It has the traditional chrome around all 4 windows. I've done some research and from what I can tell, this is real chrome and not simulated. The chrome in question appeared to be oxidized IMO.
I original approached it with P21s polishing soap. This did minimal to correct the markings. I then used a traditional chrome polish (turtle wax), again with minimal improvement. In plain light it appears better, but under LED light inspection it's minimally improved.
Any thoughts / suggestions?

I use Griots Chrome Polish on all my chrome including the exhaust tips. Works really well, but make sure you increase the pressure gradually until the oxidization is gone
