The ''Chrome strips " are actually stainless steel and also the 3 grill bars, and can be polished to a mirror finish you can have the plater Polish them for you.. or do them your self.....I do all my own metal polishing .......FC427........

If normal metal/chrome polish won't get the dullness out of the chrome I would say you need to re-chrome. The chrome plate is very thin, but pretty tough so see if a drill mounted polishing wheel will get it out, you can grab this gear from most hardware stores.
