If your trim isn't that shiny at all or has lost its shine i used a product the is called PlastX. The stuff really works. I only payed $8 for it up at a local Auto-zone. Just use a microfiber towel and just do the whole car. Here are the results. It looks like its dirty but its not. The car was infact clean before the applicant was applied to to trim.

Use never dull. $6.00, cleans any metal surface, even gold.

I used Meguiars Hot Chrome polish and it worked well for several months but is now fading again. I think I am going to get these pieces replaced when I have my car repainted.

I think they use a different plating process/materials on the bumper pieces because they need to be slightly flexible while the door pieces do not. It's pretty common for them to fade/dull more than the door trim. Nevr-dull or Mothers Chrome Polish has worked as well as anything for me, they still don't look quite as good as the doors but it's probably about as close as you can get without replacing them.

BTW, hit your headlights with the Plastx if you haven't already, if you've got a DA buffer it'll work a little better but it's great to remove the film and scum that builds up on the headlights.

Thats the only way to do it when painting, they come off in strips and get all crinkly etc...if you try to reuse them. They run about $60 each from the dealer.
