Door Chrome Strips oxidized?

[green_carnation]

Hey guys.. Recently I tried to clean and polish my car, and realised the spots on the chrome strips could not be cleaned off. It's oxidized? I tried clay bar no use, polish also no use, wax also no use, any other cleaning solution also no use.

Now no matter how clean I have washed my car, the door chrome strips around the windows just stay that way with oxidized spots, making it looks ugly. Any ways to recommend how can I rid those spots? Thanks.

Bro, why not have it removed? I took out all my chrome strips with a credit card.

Then it's gonna be bare and empty?

Maybe you can consider chrome vinyl stickers. Get a professional to do it...

looks like there's no way to clean and rid the stains..

Have you tried those chrome cleaner mild abrasives you can get from DIY shops?

[green_carnation]

Will this damage plastic? As the strips are not metal..

your concerns are valid.....these are not geniune CHROME per say as it is not plated on metal.

 

i will most likely wrap it up if all efforts in removal by mild detergents/solutions fails.

 

i recently had someone wrap my front grille star with black sticker....i like it.

Looks like that's the only way to rid the ugly stains if all attempts to get the strips cleaned fail..
