Tried "Searchy" no luck......

Anyone have any luck restoring the corner side molding pieces? Mine are the Scottsdale one with the black in the middle.... Figure paint strip, polish with NeverDull then repaint with Semigloss black?

Here's what I did to my tailgate band to restore it. It's the same thing as for the cab mouldings.

Look at the 5th and 7th posts from the bottom.

Remember: If you DO sand on it at all, don't sand at all on the smooth parts and go with the grain where it's brushed. It'll be cleared so anything you do will be AMPLIFIED when you clear it.

I did that band 2.5 years ago and it still looks like it was just done.
