Hi, welcome along!

What have you tried on it already? If it's anything like mine, unfortunately, it may be beyond the point of repair. It's the use of strong cleaners, TFRs etc at car wash stations that does it.

My Avant suffers badly; milky and tarnished alu trim all the way around the windows and roof rails.

Ask Steve 70 he should be able to give you a few options.
