chrome stains???

does anyone know how to remove chrome stains on the chrome door handles and gas tank cap on MCS? These are dot-like particles that are visible on the chrome when direct sunlight or any light hits????

Your chrome stains

These are probably caused by waterspots after washing. They should come off with your normal waxing. Then be sure to dry the chrome when you're done washing, chamois should do.

The toothpaste sounds SCARY to me. It would be quite abrasive and may cause scratches.
