How to Deal with White Spots on Chrome Window Trims?
1 Answers
Currently, there are only two solutions available. The first is polishing, but after polishing, the chrome layer will be worn away, making it impossible to restore the trim to its original condition, and 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 indicates some responsibility on the part of the producer, likely due to cost-cutting measures during production that compromised the chrome plating process, resulting in subpar materials. Here is some related knowledge about white spots on chrome window trims: Causes: In most cases, white spots on chrome are caused by the use of sprays. Additionally, harsh driving environments, such as exposure to acid rain, acid fog, or high salt content in coastal air, can also lead to the formation of white spots. Since the chrome layer at the white spots has already disappeared, these spots cannot be repaired. Repair Methods: For oxidized car trim strips, toothpaste can be used. Toothpaste contains antioxidants and abrasive particles that help remove stains. Simply dip a damp towel in toothpaste and polish the trim. Alternatively, toilet cleaner can be used, as it contains dilute hydrochloric acid that can dissolve oxides. Apply it with a towel to wipe away the spots, then use a clean, damp towel to remove any residual acid.
