Water Spots
The chrome trim that surrounds the front grille on my car had etched in water spots. Hand washing wouldn't remove them and neither did Windex or a few other products that I tried. I bought some Bar Keepers Friend liquid form, and it worked like a charm. Simply used a microfiber cloth to rub it in for a few minutes and then a clean cloth to wipe away the residue. Looks brand new. I figured some other members might run into this issue, so I snapped a quick pic after I tested a spot.

I have noticed that water spots are harder to get off my chrome lately. I had the PPF and ceramic done when purchased 18 months ago. Guessing ceramic doesn't grab onto chrome like it does PPF? Got some detailing to do when winter comes around.

Pink Stuff also works well. Like Barkeeper's Friend, I've used it on stainless steel, chrome, aluminum, copper, and a butt load of other things. It returned the exhaust tips on my IS500 back to their mirror finish.
