Any other GS owners have a fading or oxydizing problem with the chrome on your front and rear bumpers? Only the chrome on my bumpers develop a whitish film over them...all other chrome pieces stay nice and shiney. I don't know what is causing it, but I can clean it up with Scratch-X. Soap doesn't do the trick.

I bought my GS used and always noticed this fading would happen a few weeks after cleaning...wonder if the previous owner replaced the front and rear chrome or even the whole bumper. I have notced signs of possible damage to the front of my car....though he told me it was never in an accident...carfax came out with no history when I checked before I bought the car.

 

the reason why the front and rear trim fade is because they are not actual metal but a laminated plastic unlike the side trim which is actual metal chrome trim. link to the original thread below

most people have that problem, mine is "grey" now just get new ones from kragen or so and you are good to go

 

Thanks guys. I'm surprised I never saw previous threads about this...thought I kept up my CL reading pretty good.
