Do they get visually dirty or muddy faster because of the fact that they are chrome rather than black?

yes they get visually dull and dirty... you have to keep hitting them with the NEVER-DULL product to keep them shinny

There not to bad I mean if u wash your truck once a week you'll be fine, I drive down dirt roads and they don't get that bad.

they are brushed stainless, it would be kind of time consuming to polish them, maybe you could find some made out of aluminum and have then chromed?

No! I just washed my brand new ones and the steel coating is all gone. They'll still work, they just aren't shiny anymore.

Ours weren't bad, but you might need to rinse them. I know after about 6 months ours were pretty dirty and I just used soapy water and then rinsed them in clean water and they looked great again.

They are exactly the color my computer monitor showed, which is a true turquoise. I would not call them muddy at all.

I don't see anywhere in the description that says it is "chrome" and they look black to me.

The ones I have are definitely chrome based. They look great in my refinished dresser.

Just got them and haven't needed to clean them yet but I'm thinking they will be. The material seems more waterproof than our last maxi cosi seat. FYI....this is a black background with tiny white plaid print....it's a little hard to discern from the pic.

I have the ones with black handles and put them in the dishwasher all the time. Don't know why the silver handles would be any different unless maybe it would cause discoloration.

All purple, no chrome. Maybe they have changed it since I bought mine, but mine are all purple.

Matte black. Actually, mine are quite muddy! I am very happy with them. They look great on the truck, they function well, and they saved me a lot of money.

I use them very lightly for the same reason. More specifically, I rarely take it out of my room. lol Therefore, I do not know about yellowing and getting dirty very much, at least until now.However, the reason I am careful about it is due to the same worries. I presume the wares will happen, but I personally would not mind that for this thing looks way better than the other black or metal ones, in my opinion.I had chrome but got it stolen. So, I bought this one.I am sorry I cannot directly answer your questions, I should say, the pearl looks the best. lol Hope this helped, I use them very lightly for the same reason.

The scratches are clean and black but they are still there. The scratches puck up future dirt first so they show again sooner but for awhile they are well camouflaged.

If you're talking about the black stuff (the picture as sent by Amazon.com is not high res enough for me to see it clearly), no, that's not normal and you should not fond that acceptable. My pair is great, does not get grungy and I love them.

Probably could be scuffed and painted. Only the grille edges that show are chrome. the rest is black , on the one I recieved.

No. I wish they did, the chrome accent would be nice. I do love the extra visibility, they just take some getting used to, especially in tight places!
