    I mean it's only like ~$100 to replace if anything right. Not something everyone has to willingly spend, but it's not hard to obtain at least.

    The Toyota tip are stainless steel.
    Looks like the soap dried or got baked on the tip?
    Try some "Never Dull" on it. It should clean right up!

    If it actually pitted the finish, might be time to replace it with the Toyota black chrome version.

    If not, mineral spirits and Nevr-Dull...it's good enough for the Navy!

    Seeing your location, I would recommend having a spare stock section. Someone posted a nasty shot of theirs after a long hard winter where it turned the area to ice and bent the brake lines. We don't get that cold around here.

    Just a thought, used grill paint on mine, half to touch up on occasion but holds very well. This allows for the chrome look to no longer being there, and ties the black in with the rest of the truck
