Default Faded/ corroded plastic
Hi everyone,
I just got my truck a few months ago and just recently the plastic around of the mirrors is discolored, faded really bad. Just seeing what may have caused this and any recommendations on how to fix it?? I feel like it has to have been some sort of chemical but I don’t know what it could have been

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I have seen that before, I caused it with acetone. I was removing velcro and spilt a little on the black trim on my Bronco.
