Here's the secret to cleaning your discolored or tarnished chrome trim that has been damaged by automated car wash chemicals.
Barkeepers Friend Soft Cleanser @ amzn.to/3jm7Kew
I bought this car used and I believe it to have pretty bad streaks and discolouration on the body's trim due to the harsh chemicals used in touches car washes.
I researched different cleaners and really didn't find any definitive answers on how to repair the trim and remove the streaks and color marks. I figured that the trim is most likely stainless steel, which I don't know for a fact, and then searched out stainless steel cleaners.
This worked for me, as you can see. Let me know what worked for you. Thanks for watching. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

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!

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 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!

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 😂

@drewskeez1156 Жыл бұрын

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.

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

@InternetDude 2 ай бұрын

Yes with a cloth, no water

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

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