Thanks Ravinder. I had already spotted that one but it looks too pitted and as if its got a few chunks missing out of the chrome, I'd like one in better nick if possible.

In my experience it has to be said torpedoes suffer quite badly from tar spots
Due to their location
But they do respond well to a proper clean with autosol

I personally think thos badges will clean up quite well.

Thanks Ravinder and Chris, I've just bought those ones on Ebay, I hope with some Ironpro, a clay and then wax they'll come up clean.

Many thanks Ravinder and Stickman, you were both right, they were covered in tyre spots, but after applying Carpro Iron X and Autosol they've come up like a treat and are now on the car. I'm very pleased.
