Out here in Colorado they like to throw down all kinds of Potassium Chloride - horrible for chrome. So I have a set of pop-and-drops for every vehicle we own that has summer chrome. Not sure about the black chrome - haven't ever tried them, but aluminum even holds up better in the winter here if they're clear-coated (which most factory alums are).
