Default Interior "chrome" trim
While trying to figure out how to touch up the "chrome" trim along my console and bezel I stumbled across this. I'm very pleased with the results, it looks like it did when it came from the factory. I'm wondering if anybody else has used it and how long it lasted. As good as it looks and as easy as it was to apply, I'd be alright with doing every couple a months.

If it really looks like chrome, it's a lot better than having to replace an expensive components.
