I just got back from a local car wash spot from around my area.. when i got home i noticed my transformer emblems were messed up!

I've had them for about 1 year and a couple months already, without any problems. i dont know if they used a special chemical or something, but it messed up my emblem and it looks horrible now. im going to complain tomrrow because they are closed now. any ideas on how to fix this?

+1 sorry to see this op. but today I cringed when a sim Camaro go into a automatic touch car wash

midnighter · 06-23-2012, 09:56 PM

black them out.

zayzaydaboss · 06-23-2012, 09:56 PM

it was a hand car wash spot

meissen · 06-23-2012, 10:00 PM

It's hard to tell from the pic - is there black gunk on the chrome or is the chrome missing?

zayzaydaboss · 06-23-2012, 10:01 PM

the chrome is missing

davista04 · 06-23-2012, 10:02 PM

did you buy them aftermarket?

if so where did you get them from, just looks like cheap chrome overlay that is beginning to wear away with time. A car wash didn't do that

stlrammer · 06-23-2012, 10:02 PM

I would get a heat gun and remove them. Just me.
