    Question F33 Chrome Trim with water marks

    Hoping can someone tell me how to remove those water marks on the chrome that sits below the hard top when closed. It appears the old owner wasnt drying the car well and with time the water marks are now baked into the chrome trim on both sides.

    Welcome to the Forum!

    I would start with something like Brasso and a microfiber cloth. If that doesn't help and it's rather stubborn, next would be 5 "O" steel wool, and rub very lightly.
