If you just want to shine them up real good and leave them on the car, Autosol by Eastwood is pretty impressive. It makes a HUGE difference, but it doesn't take out scratches. Sanding and buffing takes alot of work, especially for such big moldings.

i have used autosol many times it great but moldings are off and i want them looking new so i think sanding down to a 2000 grade paper then some buffing will be the go, i assume many have gone down this path before me, so just checking this is the best method

well i can tell u this much on methods, i have mine off, i just sanded the inside face just to test if method would work, i polished it by hand and it looked pretty good, i then sanded it with 2000 grade paper, i then polished again by hand with autosol and its shiny but i can still see the scratches from the 2000 grade paper, i hoped the scratches would come out by hand with autosol but no chance, so i figure it has to be done with a electric buff and some different kind of compound like the white or green coloured block stuff
