Best way to get oxidation haze out of trim?

Fundguy1 · 09-11-2014, 10:12 PM

My stainless? Trim around the windows is hazy. Has some white in it. What's the best way to restore it?

More than likely the aluminum is oxidized - especially since you mention that it is hazy with white.

I use (and have used for some time) Aluminum Deoxidizer from Classic Trimcoat.

http://classictrimcoat.com/oxidized-aluminum-kit.html

It is used specifically for this purpose on BMW, Jag, Mercedes, Volvo, etc.

It removes the oxide by simply wiping the solution on the trim & keeps oxidation away indefinitely.

No need to use abrasives and work at all

In your case I would use the Black Aluminum DeOxidizer from Classic TrimCoat
