Plastic chrome is milky

[DaveWirral]

I have an A4 Cabrio, there is some plastic chrome trim that is a bit milky, I have tried using white vinegar, which to be fair has done a pretty good job.

Has anyone tried other methods?

Would Autosol work or be too harsh?

I think autosol might be a bit harsh. Brasso always did the trick for me :)

Well i took time to look at the options, Autosol did the job, i was super gentle wiping it on,followed up with a coat of wax to seal it well.

Cooking oil also works well to brighten the plastic

Dave Wirral what wax did you use to seal after you'd used the Autosol? Am thinking of doing mine soon is all
