Re: Help Please - Audi A4 Chrome Molding Damage

bipchianti- The potential issue with doing it that way is that you're now 100% dependent on your wax/etc. keeping things nice; it's basically the same as having uncoated aluminum trim.

A few people here have gone that route, but it's not something I'd want to do on my Audis (for the reasons I mentioned in the post you quoted). IF the trim were in *really* bad shape, then yeah..I can imagine cases where polishing it that way might be better than nothing.

Please post back about how often you need to redo it, it'll be interesting to hear how it holds up.

FWIW, I've managed to almost completely arrest the deterioration on our trim by just AIOing/LSPing it now and then.
