How to clean tarnished areas?
Anyone know how to clean the triangles near the B-pillar that are tarnished? The strip on the roof between the t-tops is the same way.

Different car but same problem....used brass cleaner and polisher (Home Depot). There is no grit but it removes *all* sorts of tarnish without damage, the polisher is a protectant that holds up for years.

Its a thought, not sure but it should work.
