I have just removed and polished the anodised trim below the boot lid where it sits on top of the rear bumper as the holding clips at one end were allowing it to spring up and damage the lid and the trim. The trim was pitted and worn and so i took the approach that I couldnt make it any worse by taking some wet'n'dry to it. I used 800/1500/2500 and 3000 grade to get a reasonably shiny finish but it is hard work and not all the pits/marks came out. I then spreayed with laquer but, to be frank, havent any great hope that it will last anylength of time. time will tell.
