A different approach for those of us with cloudy trim.
Found a fix for dull aluminum trim

gentlemen,if you need "green majic"or any other of those type products,go to your nearest truckstop,they will have it.most big trucks wheels/tanks/trim are made of aluminum/stainless/chrome.these guys are always fighting road grime and the stuff at the truckstop do the job!most of them are made with some kind of jewelers rouge(it come in 3 different colors)white=fine/green=med/red=course.you can buy the rouge in bars and mix it with thinner and wax let it breakdown(about 2 days)and get to buffing.they also have great buffing wheels there.and when your all done with buffing and its all black ,try a little corn starch on your buffing rag,the black is gone ,no rubbing at all.

hope this helps

Thanks for posting that! I am going to give it a whirl too. I did not even realize that mine was oxidized until I read this thread. Of course I had to go out and see how mine looked!

Suffice to say, some of mine is tarnished as well. I did not even know it. In some places, it is very good, but some areas are glum.

I tried it today on my trim and it did help in several areas.

Photos below of the driver door- which was pretty hazed. I just wonder how long the shine will last. May have to re-apply, but not a big deal.

Aluminum Trim

I found this old post on removing haze from the trim. How well does this hold up. Anything better since the last post?
