Need help with faux aluminum trim (Toyota)

Guys,

I have a 2006 toyota highlander and the fake aluminum trim has some etching probably caused by improper cleaning. The stains look darker than the rest of the trim, but color has not been affected.

I was thinking about using plastx but the instructions state that it can't be used on painted surfaces. I don't if these surfaces are actually painted.

What do you guys recommend? Has anyone encounter the same issue while detailing a Highlander?

Thanks
Gianni

 

Wow Gdal you have alot of etching problemsoke:
You can use the PlastX on that plastic trim you speak of, its covered with a Plastic Cover.opcorn:

 

PlastX didn't do anything for the trim stains. Actually I think I made the worst for a second until I applied 303 and they are back to what they were.

 

Wooops....My Bad, Glad you at least got it back to the same condition it was already in.opcorn:

 

I found this on a bimmer forum ...
