[smoknlegend]

ya a picture would tell us if its oxidation or clear coat peel.

Pictures would be helpful as stated above.. but you may need to sand it down/re-polish it if its that bad

have you tried steel wool?

have you tried steel wool? Wouldn't that scratch the chrome?

[speedminded]

Wouldn't that scratch the chrome?Then you polish it. I gotta see what piece you're talking about. Is it #13 in chrome?

Bump for help

There is a few things I would try before sanding down the clear or stripping it and polishing the metal. Some sort of rubbing compound (3m etc...) white vinegar (sometimes works for acid rain removal) and... mothers metal polish if there is no clear on it already.

^Awsome, gonna try that tomorrow.
