Works well, stick it in the vice and flatten out the face to the profile. Remove from vice, and fix up the back where the clips deforms them with the straight edge (back) of the plenishing hammer.

So far, only place it doesn't slide is the tight radius on the back quarter window. I will solve that if an when I ever get a bit of trim dented there. By all rights it should be pretty strong, as it has lots of shape, but yeah, possibly a 10mm long dolly may be required for that bit.
Once finished, plenish trims by placing the dolly in the vice and using like an anvil with soft sideways motion, being careful not to cherry the trims, hitting flat, and making sure you hit over the 25mm wide bit in the vice. If you hit the dolly on the edge, you will put a crease into the trim.
Underside of door trims, slide dolly in, move to damaged back section, place on a soft block of wood, hammer with flat wedge shaped back of plenishing hammer and bring edges up to match adjoining.
Fixed trim.
Perceivably, you can also use the dolly to recurve/bend the trims as well if required, i.e. turn a spare piece of something, into a new alterntive piece. Bwahahaha, watch out UC chrome trims sitting in the shed, you are endangered!!!
There you go, easy as, just takes some time and patience.
