any suggestions on the best way to polish these back to new? mine are looking a bit dull and its not easy to get to them. I may just remove the whole light fitting rather than piss about with them in situ.

Also any suggestions for waxs etc to keep them shiny for longer.

Use Autosol, It'll certainly make you dribble when you see the result!

As with anything, a bit of hard graft and effort will give you your just rewards.

It works wink

Give them a good waxing after they are polished as this really helps to prevent the tarnishing.
