Cleaning front chrome

[Del]

My Stinger is temporarily parked outdoors until I move into a new house, meaning I've been a bit lax with keeping it properly clean since it just gets dirty again so quickly, so I've mostly just been pressure washing it off. I gave it a solid handwash yesterday and it cleaned up nicely (it's also ceramic coated), however the bronzed chrome trim pieces (front grille and the backs of the mirrors) have some spotting/marks on them. Does anyone have a good recommendation for cleaning those up that won't scratch them? I was just using my standard car shampoo + microfibre towel for cleaning.

the dark chrome trim above the windows is the main complaint, but water spotting and such on the front dark chrome will respond to the same solutions. I just bought Flitz polish but haven't used it yet. user reviews are very encouraging, especially forum reviews. that is my backup. first I'd try an 'optimum no rinse' and soft water solution with a microfiber that has glass polishing stripes with the regular microfiber. any good microfiber will do though. Ima curious also if meg's plastx would cut the hard water spots. I've used it successfully on blemishes on the plastic areas like taillight assembly and the piano black between the doors. it should cut hard water spots.

Looks like hard water deposits from sprinklers. Try Griots water spot remover or Chemical Guys heavy duty water spot remover.

Agree with water spot remover... I had it and it cleaned up nicely. I used Carpro spotless on mine followed by a wash

Flitz on the trim above the windows works. The left hand strip was done a year ago. I didn't do the right side strip at that time. You can clearly see the difference.

windex on the black chrome bits, then PPF over top and they will look good forever.

Thanks for the reply! Doesn't look like Griots is easy to get in Australia, would need to ship it internationally. I'll give the Chemical Guys one a shot

You can try white vinegar on the water sports
