Pitts are the pitts. On my bumper/grill & headlight bezels I used ultra fine ( 0000 ) steel wool & windex to clean the crud off the chrome. It made a world of differnce. Around many of the pitts if you look with a magnafieng glass it looks like a tiny volcano sort of. My theory is a teeny tiney hole lets moisture under the plating, and corrosive crud seems to "grow" out of the hole. Some of these barnacle like bits came off with the steel wool, some I even knocked off with a plastic scraper. A little wax, or a clear coat might help slow down the re-emergence of the corrosion? Other than that the other option is re-place, or re-plate I guess.
