Window Trim Fading! NEED HELP!!!
Alright guys, I'm gonna have to detail the truck soon for this summer, and I have the non glossy window trim, the one without the sport package. It is fading out and has some fingerprints on it. It also has some marks from the soap used at the touchless car-wash (I think it had a chemical in there that caused it to fade). Well, I read all the threads for the window trim discoloration and all of the problems seem to be with the sport package glossy trim so thats why i started this thread. Please guys any help will be thankful! If nothing can clean it, than should I order the carbon fiber trim? But please if it could be cleaned then post how to clean it.

But yours is a sport, and mine is not, I don't have the glossy pillars. Mine are the dull flat black ones.
