(06-12-2012, 09:34 AM)Simpler=Better As I understand, the W123's don't have chrome trim-it's just aluminum with clearcoat. Looks like you let the polishing compound dried up and started to rub through the top layer. Get some more compound on there and hit it again-what's the worst that can happen?
so that would make sense as to why the chrome polish i have been using never works! Also I bought this "polishing" set from harbor frieght and it had two bars in it. One white and the other is red. I used the white one because the packaging said it was for chrome.
So from what I gather your saying I removed the clearcoat? If I keep polishing long enough will i just expose the aluminum and make that bad boy shiny?
