Oxydation dots on Chrome on top of license plate
Has anyone found oxydation marks or dots on the chrome bar above the licence plate, how did you get them off?

ML500 for about a year on tropical climate.

Mine is about a year old also and I do not have this problem. Try a chrome polish or mild metal polish.

Simichrome or Mothers Mag & aluminum polish would be good.
