I have a new 2010 TL that I just washed and waxed for the first time. After washing I ended up with some water spots on the matte finish (plastic) chrome grille and trunk trim. While waxing the painted surfaces I attempted to keep the wax off of the matte chrome but was not successful. I need some suggestions on how to care for the matte chrome trim on this car. Should I just go ahead and wax the matte finish even though it changes the look slightly? Is there a recommended cleaner and/or treatment for this matte finish? I do wax the shiny chrome (plastic or metal) with good results but this is different.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I would use 303 it will help protect against fading.

I don't know that anyone's found a good way to deal with the matte silver finish trim on the newer Acuras. I just hit it good with the washmit and then chamois it afterwards. The MF leaves waterspots. If you get wax on it, it doesn't look good, as you've found out.

Try using a cleaner type wax or an ultra-fine abrasive (finishing) polish
