I have them and hate them. I'm letting them fade so they won't be as noticeable.

But to answer your question, you might try some Brasso.

Have you tried wax and buff or maybe some of the 303 protectant? Maybe a dremel with a buff wheel on it?

I want the car to look as new as possible. Gold trim is not my style, but we have it.
Experimented today a bit with the milder polish from QUIXX scratch remover....seemed to help. I'll keep you posted

Just bought these a few weeks ago. OEM, perfect fit, they look great. I’ve getting a lot of compliments. I’ve noticed there are a lot of haters for the gold emblems. I think is a matter of preference. I had silver Emblems on my black Ls but GOLD Emblems just stand out so much more in my vehicle.
