Chrome???

What is the best chrome polisher out there? I just got a new truck and I put a chrome bug guard on it and I have chrome rims too. I want those bad boys to reflect the sun like no-body’s business. Any suggestions?

:shoot:

If it has surface rust, steel wool (LIGHTLLY!!!) and turtle wax chrome cleaner/polish. Otherwise, just the TW chrome polish will work awesome. That is what I am currently using to restore the chrome on my 74 F-100. I'll post a pic of the results for you today.

Wenol is a great metal polish that I have used when working on some of Pete's old cars.

We get ours from the local Harley dealer. You know there is nothin better to use than what they detail a 20k dollar chrome bike with.

it is called X-treem and comes in cloth form. Cost 9.95 at the dealer we got it.

in Alaska, Duct tape is considered chrome, once it starts to peel off just put on a new layer...

lmao..... anyways i heard of wenol being good as well as mothers being good. but if you have light oxidation (rust) believe it or not take some ATF on a rag and rub it on then rub it off. works great. then use some kind of chrome protectant.

would Break Fluid take off chrome or would it make it brighter?

hmm brake fluid i think it would just make it shinier if you could get all the residue off but in the end the chemical compounds would probably eat up the chrome, thats what i think but i dont know for sure
