Hi, I've the interior removed and all the alloy trim across the dash and door is tarnished and cloudy looking. Looks like the previous owner was a smoker too so that hasn't helped!
What is the best to restore this? I've tried some metal polish but seems the cloudly effect returns within a few hours.
Thanks Andy IMG_3074.jpg

Had same problem with my '63, worked with paint store to find the color needed and painted, then clear coated. Came out perfect.
