Wash it to remove the dirt, then metal polish from the hardware store or auto parts store

I took it off, used a da sander, acetone, painted it black. Otherwise there's good suggestions above.

I did the same! Sanded it really well, taped the area well - used Home depot flat black over a year ago, still looks great!

Kingsford Stainless BBQ cleaner... Spray on, wait about 15mins, wipe off. Virtually no effort or elbow grease needed. Literally wipes off easy...

Retired and not looking. I am driving the wife crazy.
I suggest you take it off and throw it away. That is what i did on mine. I needed a chrome exhaust tip like I needed a hole in my head.

Thinking on it a little more, maybe I need a hole in my head. That must be why I hear whistling in the wind.

That doesn't strip the chrome off?

Is it a different kind of chrome than the wheels that scratch when you look at them?

Not at all. I used them on Chrome tips for quite a while. Last three trucks at least. I also use it on the outside of my barbecue, stainless steel, and it works perfect.
