Is it ok to polish my shadowline trim?

I sure hope so because mine looks like shit!!! I used to be able to take some wax to it and take it off, but now it just doesnt work any longer.

Well I guess ill find out soon. I just ordered a PC from Detailer Domain and tomorrow I am getting a piece of the trim replaced (dealer scratched it). Im going to ask to keep the scratched piece so I can see how it turns out with the pc so I dont ruin the ones on the car.

just use a pad with a rounded edge and you will be golden, i used a blue pad.
