  • Dull haze on brite trim

    Today I detailed my mother-in-law's 1995 Buick Century. It had been waxed only two or three times since it was new and had not been washed in over six months. I was able to get the paint reconditioned a lot better than I had hoped. However, it has a dull haze on the brite metal trim around the windows. I tried some Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner ( the only thing I had that I though might help). It improved the appearance a little but did not take off much of the haze. I would like to know what you think could be used to restore the brite trim on this car. Below are a couple of pictures of the paint restoration.

    picture of brite trim

    I tried zooming in on the brite trim of an earlier picture I took of the paint. Maybe this will give you a better idea of what I'm talking about.

      Deep Crystal paint cleaner has no abrasives, and therefore wont be very good at removing swirls/scratches. You may want to try a product like scratchX instead, or another product with abrasives in it.

        I don't know if that trim is actually metal or if it is plastic that has a chrome coating. If it's plastic, you may want to give plastx a try, it does a great job of reviving faded trim such as that. If it's metal you may want to use something like NXT all metal polysh and seal it with some NXT tech wax. If you are unable to restore it, you may want to look into replacing it.
