What is the B pillar trim made of

Quick question for my detailing need. What is the B pillar trim made of? The one that is glossy black? Looks like plastic to me but looks can be deceiving. For example I know the shadowline trim looks like plastic and it's metal. Just checking for the kind of polish to use on this.

Pretty sure it's plastic. On cars, if it looks like plastic and feels like plastic it usually is plastic

It's plastic, I use meguiars #205 ultra finishing polish with DA polisher and it makes it look like a mirror.

The shadow trim is metal? I thought that's plastic as well.
