Preee Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I would be surprized if buffing it removes it , they should replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian1106 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 that's exactly what i suspected to the dealer, but the service guy replied that ford would ask for it to be buffed first before Ford would support a warranty claim.

NorthSussex Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Most chrome trim is a plastic chrome finish with a lacquer top coat, not metal that has bee chromed, it should be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 buffing plastic will likely just remove the top chrome seems pretty simple that they should replace it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSussex Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 It looks like the plastic top coat has failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian1106 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 ye i believe the strip has a fault in it. the service guy at the dealer suggested that it was sun cream mistakenly applied by kids, i did not quite laugh at him but replied that the kids must have been real good as that strip has the same apperance at its full lengnth only on the front passenger section of the strip and the same kids would have to applied the sun cream under the mirror not leave any finger marks on it or anywhere else on the car ...... where do they find these people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Sun! cream would strip plastic but I suggest a fault with the lacquer on the strip. They'll not be able to polish it, it needs replacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
