    Stains on plastic "chrome"?

    I've got a customer that called the other day and said he used some bug and tar remover on the grill and mirror caps on his Tundra. They're plastic chrome, and he's telling me it seems to have left some staining or possibly dis-colored the chrome finish. I haven't had a chance to get him in yet to see for myself, but I'm wondering if any of you have seen this happen and if so what to do to fix the problem?

    Thanks!

    Try just a LITTLE bit of an AIO on you finger tip. Sometimes that is all it takes.

    Just remember, the surface is incredibly thin!

    I was kinda thinking about something like that. Maybe on a q tip or something.
