2 questions for ya.

First off I bought a chrome front grille off ebay and it looked good at first, but now the mesh looks like its turning gold. Pics are in my cardomain page of how it used to look, what will fix that?

And second, when I removed the emblems off my truck, the chevy badge in the rear left kind of a foggy looking spot on the tailgate, any way to remove that?

Thanks for any help.

Re: 2 questions for ya.

Usually the fogging occurs if you try to use a goo-gone type stuff. You can try to use a more abrasive mequires buffing polish then use a wet look polish. Use elbow grease & do it by hand & it should be fine. I think I use #1 & #2. The grill probably uses a cheap method for the plastic-chroming, so it is just wearing away. I am betting there is really nothing you can do for it.
