Wipe clean with a damp towel and polish the chrome with a non abrasive metal polish. I prefer Mequiars Metal Polish, but there are many decent chrome and metal polishes out there.

It's hard to tell from the pictures. It almost looks like some kind of dried soap film or chemical staining.

I try to use shampoo to wash again. If really cant wash off , I will try to use vinegar to remove it . If really cant move then I will buy metal polish . Maybe I choose from meguiar or turtle wax metal polish.
