Badly tarnished baguettes.

[pat40]

Hey guys, I was detailing my car today and realised that the baguettes on my car are really tarnished. Any tips on how to fix them? There seems to be a rusty colour on some bits and the rest has a salty look to it? Tried glass cleaner as suggested by other members, but no luck .

Best thing I found for the Chrome Strips was to use a Clay bar - worked a treat on Boo's car when the strips looked dull.

Side chrome door strips

And yeah, a goooooood car wash.



All I do is clean WTF and wax them after, always come up nice and shiny

I was claying it lol! Didn't know if it was ok to clay the baguettes as well!

Oh right- thought Baguettes had something to do with a French lunchtime (Bread) nibble

Mine where really cloudy and filthy on Saturday similar to:



After a wash with Megs Gold Class shampoo, dry and then some carnauba wax, came up like:



This was today, washed on Saturady (it was dark by the time I was done so lets ignore the swirl of wax left ¬ ¬)

Same for my chrome mirror caps.

That's what I used last week as mine were caked in shite and they came up a treat.

I had this problem and SRP got them like mirrors on seconds. It was quite remarkable because a cloth and the car wash would not budge anything but one wipe with the polish bought them right out!

How do the baguettes come off ??

Brute force or hairdryer.

They're only stuck on so just pull it away gently. Apply heat to make the process less scary.

SRP should be in everyone's garage. Great on chrome-like baguettes, chrome-like front grille, paintwork and Bellones. I also use Zaino AIO if particular problem is too much for SRP.
