[@mrmrsgavia6773]

This worked on my wife’s Lexus NX trim on the grill. I thought it was chemical damage and was getting ready to dechrome it. Thanks!

[@rootrustpd]

Amazing been struggling frond right cleaner for mine. Ty i will add to my fav car playlist

[@michael-d1h9f]

I have the same Town car color and pin stripe. Trying to clean the door molding grooves without having to remove. Don't want to bend or break by removing. Full of Mold black on back bumper but they came off easy. Funny thing I pull in to the handicap section at Walt Disney World, and a group of teens must be 12-13 years old walk by and each one compliments my Town car, Like your Lincoln Sir says one, then the next kid says the same Like your Lincoln Sir, then the girls walk by and say Oh I like your Disney shirt and like your Lincoln? I just say that cause even adults don't compliment my Town car and it looks fabulous!! This 2003 Lincoln Town Car has got to be one of the most beautiful cars Ford has ever made I love it!!! It rides like a dream its fast but get great gas mileage 20 city and 30 hwy.

Thanks

Love love love this video!

[@critStock]

Thanks for this! I'm going to try it, although I'm not sure that what is going on with my chrome is the same kind of tarnishing that you had. We'll see!

[@InternetDude]

Worth a try

[@Jetjourney]

Worked on my tarnished chrome on my Kia Stinger. Some elbow grease is needed.

[@InternetDude]

Great 👍

[@susanrand512]

Great tip, I discolored the chrome finished faucet in bathroom and am desperate to fix this, I'll let you know, 😊 thanks

[@InternetDude]

OK 👍

[@HasseBasseBingBong]

Did it work? I have the same problem now!

[@sophiab5708]

I put silver polish on my chrome now it looks matte, desperately trying to fix this i will give this a try

[@PrairiePlantgirl]

That worked well, and now you will have a clean bathroom too 👍

[@InternetDude]

😁

I have a 2001 town car Cartier and love your headlights. Where did you get them from?

[@InternetDude]

They are original headlights for 2003-2011 Town Cars

[@nickstein1965]

Any idea how to remove scratches from the trim

[@InternetDude]

not sure, some kind of polish I guess

[@jankijan8004]

So what did you do? Did you apply that cleaner with your finger? Or used a microfiber cloth to rub it in? Or used a buffing pad to buff it out? I'm clueless!

[@InternetDude]

Wow you are absolutely correct I didn't show the application. I used an old sock (rag) that was dampened with water and then spread the material on and rubbed it by hand using that rag.

[@jankijan8004]

@@InternetDude Well I'm a known mess-maker in my family. As soon as I get down to working on my cars, wife knows a disaster is about to happen lol. I'm fed up of my failures with car-repair so much that I wanna know the exacts for everything. Sorry if I may have sounded naive but I am :)

[@AA908817]

How’d you apply BKF on the trim? Using a cloth? And did you mix it with water?

[@InternetDude]

Yes with a cloth, no water

[@VitaliyKofman]

Looks good!

[@InternetDude]

Thanks 👍

[@RickForeman-h1f]

i have to ask is this Mike Olski??

[@Truelegend86]

100% car wash chemicals and exactly why I’m here 🤦🏻‍♂️ always wash by cars by hand but decided to be lazy today and what a mistake that was 😂

[@J_P_EventsStyling]

any other brands aside from what you've used???TIA

[@InternetDude]

no

[@Big_Stef]

Does it work on gold plating?

[@InternetDude]

It might

[@Rucraz2]

This will typically work with actual metal chrome. I have had zero effects with plastic chrome however, which is on a lot of newer vehicles. My Lincoln navigator had this and this did not work. I used Griots plastic polish and it came right out. Any other plastic polish will work. I use it on all hard plastics interior and exterior. Yes I too believe it's chemical stains.

[@InternetDude]

Yes it’s hard to say if it will work depending on the vehicle

[@drewskeez1156]

any headlight/plastic polish will do. Those door and bumper "chrome" trim strips are just plastic. Same as the front grille. The hood trim, pillars and chrome trim under the door and on the fender wells (if equipped) are actual chrome/metal.

[@InternetDude]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@umbrellaharrycryptoknight9341]

i have marks on my stinger and its from tape or cover before delivery , cant find ant sauitable product to remove these marks

[@InternetDude]

Did you try Barkeepers Friend? Perhaps Goo Gone or Acetone would work?

[@TheNuclearBolton]

Thannnnkks!

[@InternetDude]

😁👍

[@Gheldrose94]

Any help for blackened chrome Mercedes restoring?

[@InternetDude]

Perhaps this would work? Try it in a small test area that is less noticeable.

[@cartierchronicles2000]

Believe me or not chemical Guys water spot removal heavy duty did a amazing job on my trim. Completely brought the shine back to an amazing finish.

[@InternetDude]

OK

[@robertlawson1184]

Thats because most chrome trims that are discolored like that are from water drying up over time i assume? Haha

[@Jesse-cx4si]

Is that chrome or stainless steel? 🤔

[@InternetDude]

I wouldn't call it chrome, it looks closest to stainless, to me.

[@MoFoMatricks]

Trash... I've used 4x correctly on trim and windows spots, to no avail.. 2015 Honda Accord Coupe..

[@InternetDude]

Your trim may be made of something slightly different?
