I car is only 3 months old and the chorme trim on the windows is starting to get cloudy. My dealer had tried to polish it for me, but it doesn't look any better.

Anyone has the same problem. I will try to take some pictures of it tomorrow.

Yes, show us some pics. I will look at my car, but right now I am having trouble picturing what you are talking about.

It has something to do with the soap or solvent you use.

With a nice wax you can get them shiny but be aware of the seals and the roof panels so that you do not get them squeaky.
