Getting Rid of Stains on Chrome or Stainless Steel

Unsightly stains on chrome or stainless steel trim around the door glass no longer means trim replacement. A good-quality chrome or aluminum polish, some careful masking to protect rubber molding and painted surfaces, and a little bit of elbow grease, can work wonders to get back that showroom shine. A couple of good brands to try are Mothers PowerMetal(TM), or Meguiars All Metal Polish or NXT Generation(TM) All Metal Polish.
