may want to double check these with others.
Chrome:
windshield frame, bumper tubes, headlight rings, exterior door handles.
Stainless:
wing window frames, door window trim, rocker panel trim, kick plate (door sill), license plate lights ( I think), weather seal plates on the front and back of the doors, grill trim,
don't know about top latches, interior door handles (probably plastic), boot clips on the rear valence-suspect these are chrome, I think the bezel around the ignition switch is aluminum.
You can try polishing with an automotive compound like Mequire's #2 and #3. Stainless will respond well. It won't do anything for chrome.
