Re: Dont know what this is call...

Yeah, that's happening to my sister's Eclipse as well. Besides the paint being old, I don't know why it happens....maybe because we washed her car with dish soap back then because we didn't know better. When that happens, it's probably just best to get a new paint job. I hope my car doesn't do that...

I don't believe that can be fixed. 3SX Performance sells replacement garnishes. The other option would be getting new garnishes from a dealer like Rockville Mitsubishi (aka Mitsupartsdirect.com).

Actually, there might be something for it. My jeeps fender flares were starting to fade out, so i looked up something for that, and there was a cream made to refurnish it, and they seem to both be made out of the same thing, so it might work. I'll see if i can find what that stuff is called.

Re: Dont know what this is call...

ohhhhh I thought you meant the paint fade....yeah that stuff comes out easy. It's just oxidation, comes out with rubbing compound, go buy a can and get to scrubbin it'll be back to it's original color!

Re: Dont know what this is call...

Wax wont do it, you need to get it buffed with compound, and even then it may be too late. The black molding, I would guess is done for. You can buy 'renewing' products...but generally they only bring it back to 'life' for a week tops.

I would post this is hte detailing section under 'cars in general' and ask for some professionals opinions. Just my .02
