Scratches in chrome trim?

How do you remove scratches in chrome trim? I have tried chrome/plastic polish without success.

Thanks!

It's an Aston Martin. From what I read, usually the chrome trim is actually coated plastic and not very easily treated by standard polishes (too harsh for it).

I'm in Bellevue, but I might drive to Metropolitan Detail and see what John thinks.

You'll need to use a polisher to fix this...just take it to John.

So, brought my car to John and he recomended using a polish like Mezerna Final Polish on a white pad.

After 2 minutes with my Flex, the scratches were gone!

Thanks, John!
