Cleaning silver (optics) trim around windows

[PetrolDave]

I saw a (non-RS) Avant yesterday and that had shiny trim and roof bars so possibly there are two versions of the silver trim.

IIRC shiny trim & roof bars is standard on A4 & S4 , but matt is standard on RS4.

Mine were pretty badly stained and milky blotches in appearance when I got the car (April), after trying numerous different compounds, I had best success with Scholl Concepts S3 Gold, worked really well and minimal effort. I have sealed them with Werkstat Acrylic and so far they are holding up well after a number of washes since application.

Cheers for the info Jeff

Still struggling to get mine to come up any better and have actually just ordered some silver vinyl to have a go at covering them with that. If that fails miserably (which I fear it will) I will have a blast with your suggestion
