    What are you using for your door pillar posts and chrome trim ?

    What can I use to bring back the shine of my black metal door pillar posts (not sure if that is the correct term) and chrome trim ? Similar to the photo below.

    Thanks....

    I use a cleaner wax such as ColorX, or sometimes a mild polish such as UP or SwirlX.

    Just be careful to keep it off the rubber bits

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

      For those type of black pillars I like to use Megs Synthetic Express Spray Wax or Ultimate Spray Wax.

      Taking the time to do a light polish as Davey suggested would yield optimum results prior to quik waxing them.

          Davey, Eldorado thanks for the advice guys !!
          I thought I'd need a specialty product for that.


          Guz, I have Megs Ultimate Compound, Ultimate Polish and the Liquid Ultimate Wax
          I also have Mothers Carnauba Wash & Wax and Showtime. They were packaged along with the clay bars I picked up.

          Speaking of that how is the Mothers Carnauba Wash & Wax ? And can I follow that up with Megs Liquid Ultimate Wax ?
          I never actually got around to using either Showtime or the W & Wax.

            Try a test spot with UP. Then go from there.
