Polishing chrome window trim?

So it seems that the X5 chrome (non-sport) window trim has some type of sealant overtop. I only say this becaus every product I use does not make any difference at all. Any tips on how to shine it up or just leave it alone?
Thanks,
-Cyrus

What worked for me today was using the same AutoGlym polish I used on the paintwork. The trim might have a clearcoat on it, but the polish cleaned it up just fine. I suppose any kind of quality polish would work (einszett, Meguairs, AutoGlym etc.) I had to be careful not to get any on the surrounding rubber.
