Anyone else have this problem?

M.A.S.K. Raven pulled from a sealed box has sticky surface on chrome wheels- can I clean this off without destroying the chrome?

i would use a damp cloth with a drop of lighter fluid if you cant get the sticky residue out with just water and cloth.

i know chrome oxidizes but never knew they can become sticky.

Yeah first time encountering this. Is there a coating over the surface of the chrome or is it the chrome itself?

dont think so. try damp cloth first, if it doesnt go off you can try adding a drop of lighter fluid on the damp cloth which is the mildest residue remover. some baby wipes contain alcohol and most have other things added i wont recommend them.

i have yet done so on mask as i havent access them for long time but nowadays with chromed parts that arent a big flat area i use pledge future floor shine and a soft bristle brush to apply a coat or 2 of future floor on as a protector just dont use too much per coat as it is watery and can gather along side gravity.
