Window trim polish

I have searched long and hard with no avail.
As I have read I am like many out there that need to polish thier window trim.
That ugly haze is hard to get off.
What I learned, The haze is under a varnish or plastic coating and polishing will not reach it.
I have heard that sanding it off and getting to the pure metal is the only way.
Well I have used the cotton wade al/chrome polish-no luck.
3000 grit polishing compound with buffing wheel-no luck.
I will now try 1000 grit and see what happens.
Has anyone got better ideas?

Just wad up a small piece of alluminum foil, dip into water and rub the rail back and forth. The foil will shape to the rail (area). Tough spots I will add some alluminum cleaner. Its elbow grease but works well. High speed verion is dremel tool with buffing drum and metal polish.
