Rust on S70 ignition key

path1: assume that the plating on the key was poor. Has it "worn" or "peeled/flaked" off? If worn, that is not very long for a key to wear like that. I would make sue tha tthe locks are lubricated with dry graphite (NEVER use a wet lube in a lock, no matter what the can/bottle says). If flaked, then I would worry about where all those bits of chrome went.

path 2: There is a problem with one of the cars's locks- presumably the door or ignision lock that is wearing off the chrome.

path 3: You keep the key on a keyring next to other keys that are wearing off the chrome as they rub together in your pocket/purse/whatever.

If this is one of the later digital/chipped keys, they are expensive to replace.
