How to Deal with Oxidized Chrome Trim on a Car?
1 Answers
Automotive chrome trim oxidation can be repaired using toothpaste, as toothpaste contains antioxidants and descaling abrasive particles. Simply apply toothpaste with a damp towel, polish, and then wipe it off. Alternatively, toilet cleaner can be used. Toilet cleaner contains dilute hydrochloric acid, which can dissolve oxides on the chrome trim. After wiping with a towel soaked in toilet cleaner, use a clean damp towel to remove any residual acid. Here are other solutions: 1. WD-40 Multi-Use Product: For severe cases, WD-40 Multi-Use Product can be used. According to official information, WD-40 has strong surface affinity and permeability to metals, penetrating into the metal's pores to 100% eliminate moisture and humidity, forming an ultra-thin, dense protective film to isolate humidity and air, effectively solving metal rust problems "from the inside out." 2. Introduction to Chrome Trim: Chrome trim is a decorative trend. After electroplating, the surface of the component can achieve a mirror-like reflective effect, presenting a strong metallic texture and a sense of fashion under light. Many people use chrome-plated decorative parts on prominent areas of the car, such as the grille, door edges, and fog light covers, to enhance the car's premium feel. However, it has one drawback: it is prone to oxidation. Once oxidized, rust spots appear on the surface, turning yellow and becoming dull.
