If the trim is stainless, it is very easy to polish.  You can use a bench grinder with buffing wheels, rouge, and good gloves.  Just be careful so the buffer doesn’t grab the part and send it flying or bend it.  Aluminum parts are another story—it is typically anodized which is a hardened surface that can’t be buffed.  I tried having some really tired looking moldings re-anodized with marginal results.  They looked better, but still not great and nowhere near new or restored.  I did use a bit of 000 stainless and did some light cleaning on my current projects anodized parts to clean them up.  Look forward to answers from others on this, hopefully I will learn something!
