chrome cleaning

[papawayne]

Hi folks, just read in an outdated "old folks"magazine that crumpled up aluminum foil will make chrome shiny and bright. The strongest stuff I've ever used on my chrome is Never Dull, any coments? I don't dare try it on my lincoln, thinking that it will scratch the dickens out of it and ruin it forever...Wayne

To clean chrome one has to remove surface contaminants like rust, and then polish the chrome, the same way it was polished right after being plated. Polish too hard and you'll rub the chromium off and expose the nickel underneath.

Aluminum is just scratching the surface. A creme polish is needed to really shine the chrome. Never dull is good, I've heard, but I've had good experience is chrome polish and a buffer on my bumpers. Forget using your hands. Let a machine do the work.

If bumpers are heavily worn, I recommend Autosol Chrome Glanz. It also cleans nice and easy overspray and other dirt from chrome.
