Here is another iron to throw into the fire.
How do you restore damaged dinged nicked trim, and get it to look like the rest of the piece. I have some trim that is from super camper specials, and crew cabs that are damaged, would like to fix em up and not damage the surface, or at least restore it to an OE look.

i just did this, using an 8 - 10 inch polishing wheel on a drill and use the black emery compound. Tape around the paint using blue painters tape. clean up with soap and water. if that doesnt work sand the finish using 320 wet sandpaper, then use black emery compound. you will need to polish the trim once the finish is removed. you can use vinegar to remove the stubborn spots.
