        he's talking about removing the trim around the windows. the trim around the windows are stainless steel not chrome, so it can't be sanded off anyway.

        they are held on with clips and some screws. most people break the clips, but you can get new ones. i'd let a bodyshop remove them. later.

              If they're stainless, you can sand them with 800-1200 grit sandpaper and then buff them.
              just make sure when ur sanding to only go one way. If done right they will look brand new

                Call your local glass company like lee and cates. They would probably get them off for about 35 dollars. It will cost you more than that when you buy new clips when you break them and hopefully you dont bend the chrome. some times it saves to DIY but it can also cost you more if you dont have the right tools..
