I've had luck with just simply waxing what little chrome parts remaining on my truck when it comes to water spots. That's even dealing with the super hard water out here in NM.

The grille is probably chrome over plastic, not true metal chrome.

yep its plastic coated in chrome plating. wax should work though, or 3M polish / rubbing compound

If its just water spots it should just buff out with QD. Now if its etched into the chrome thats an entire different story. Wax will cover it but you'll need something stronger to totally remove it.
