Door Window frames on an early 240z

[grannyknot]

Can anyone tell me if the door window frames are stainless steel or chrome?

The magnet test was inconclusive as some of the lower grades of SS are still magnetic.

My window frames are badly scuffed and scratched in places and if they are chrome then I'll just let the chromers deal with it but if SS then I can start some heavy buffing.

Thanks,

Chris

They are SS and can respond well to buffing with jeweler's polish. You will likely end up with a brighter finish than factory original so if restoring to "as delivered", this is not a good solution for concours judging. I buffed out all my stainless frames, drip rails, and front & hatch gasket inserts and am very pleased with the appearance.

Thanks Jim, fortunately, I got that factory original thing out of my system a long time ago, give me the shine.

Granny, they will buff out faster if you hit them first with a fine grit wet sandpaper-like 1500-2000.
