Door sill / kick plate restoration?

Not been on for a while! Hope you’re all well.
I’m finally getting around to doing a little tidying up on the csl, front bumper had never been painted, I liked it being original, but it did look quite bad.
On my list was to fit my new csl kick plates which I bought about 7 years ago with new front carbon fibre bumper flippers, and a brand new steering wheel. All bought new from the dealers as they were starting to cease production on some parts. I’ve put them somewhere so safe, I now can’t find them! Got all the other parts in the boot, but not the kick plates - so can anyone recommend a good refurb of my existing ones?
Thank you
Simon

Can't advise on the refurb part but if you do get them back to their best or bite the bullet and buy new, make sure you get some PPF applied to the chrome parts to avoid them spoiling again. I had some PPF templates knocked up by a detailer in Bristol about 7 years ago for about £20 and my kick plates still looks as good as new
