How to Deal with White Spots on Chrome-Plated Car Windows?
1 Answers
Currently, there are only two solutions available. The first is polishing, but after polishing, the chrome plating layer is worn away, and the final result cannot be restored to its original state. Moreover, it will become more susceptible to corrosion afterward. The second option is to seek a replacement from the manufacturer, as the appearance of white spots on the chrome plating is partly the manufacturer's responsibility. This is due to cutting corners during production, leading to poor chrome plating processes and substandard materials. Below is related knowledge about white spots on chrome-plated car windows: 1. Causes of Formation: In most cases, white spots on chrome plating are caused by the use of sprays. Additionally, white spots can also result from harsh driving environments, such as exposure to acid rain, acid fog, or high salt content in coastal air. Since the chrome plating layer on the surface of the white spots has already disappeared, they cannot be repaired. 2. Repair Methods: For oxidized car trim, toothpaste can be used. Toothpaste contains antioxidants and abrasive particles that remove stains. Simply dip a damp cloth in toothpaste and polish the area. Alternatively, toilet cleaner can be used. Toilet cleaner contains dilute hydrochloric acid, which can dissolve oxides. Dip a cloth in the cleaner and wipe the affected area, then use a clean damp cloth to remove any residual acid.
