Solution to Hazy Exterior Chrome Trim
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I want to announce that through extensive research, i have succeeded in finding a cure to the hideous hazing of the exterior chrome trim that surrounds most of our windows. Thanks accepted, Paypal Donations preferred.

I'd love to see some before and after pics. I ended up just having the trim vinyled matte black but I'm curious.

+1 we need before/after pics and more testimonials. What made you think of trying Plast-X? I think some people tried Scratch-X with no positive results. I would think Scratch-X is more abrasive than Plast-X, right? So it doesn't make sense.
FWIW, regular polish (CC polish, not metal polish) and a RO worked for me. But if Plast-X works, I'll get some. Easier to use.

Any All in One product like Klasse or Optimum Poli-Seal work as well and they also put a nice coat of protection on as well. With the PlasticX you'll need to put a sealant or wax on them to keep them looking good.
Please pass on any donations you receive to me! Thanks

Nice, our 750i with 40k miles has this hazing/oxidization problem - just noticed it today actually while I was out washing/waxing it. I tried come Mothers Chrome Polish but it did absolutely nothing. Looking forward to seeing some before/after shots from you guys on how well these products fix it.
