Mine are all a faded grey colour, and they can stay like it as I am not going to worry about it

I was polishing my door handles with the brasso lint type polish.
tried giving a blank a rub with the lint and they have come up perfect, just a few rubs required.

Sorry guys but I must be missing something here. I bought some roof rails from the local breakers to fit on my recently acquired ZT T and they are metal not plastic. I took the centre pillar off to give them a good clean and it's bolted on the the bar, you can see the shiny thread in the aluminium of the bars? Mine have certainly gone very grey and do look past there best but they are definitely metal, they even 'ring' when tapped! You can also see where the sprayer missed sections under the areas that fasten to the roof.
Help gratefully appreciated.

They are talking about the plastic plugs that discolour, fitted over the holes for the roof rack mounting points.
