I never saw this post when you originally made it so my apologies for resurrecting it nearly four months later . I am in the process of restoring a Jaguar XK which has plastic chrome effect trim running around the doorframe , this inevitably suffers a milky discolouring over time and as its plastic coated its impossible to polish out . Replacement cost per side is around £350 which although easily sourced and done still doesnt address the underlying problem in that the same thing will inevitably happen again as the part itself is poorly made . A Moderator friend on Jaguar Forum recommends having it wrapped in chrome effect wrap from a Company which wraps super cars , I am a bit sceptical because I once saw one on a Jaguar Dealer Forecourt which had been wrapped in Black Chrome and it was already peeling . As soon as we get back to some sort of normality I shall speak with this Super Car Bloke and keep you posted , I can easily imagine some sort of Product being available which will allow you to possibly take out your window frames and perhaps do the job yourself .

I think I pointed out the problems in wrapping Boats as unlike many including the OP I had seen it done and saw the problems involved . On a new build with a decent work surface and applied in the correct environment you could possibly achieve a reasonable finish , otherwise I believe you have dodged a bullet .
