<< < (2/2)

Try tin foil and soapy water, i find this works a treat, and leaves no scrapes.

I normally try soaking a cloth in coca-cola and leaving on light rust spots for about 20 mins then wipe off!   rinse well tho, this stuff is like acid if left for ages.

Autosol NO , to harsh and strips the chrome and polishes the nickel to almost bare metal ,great on alloy though

Peek was the best stuff i had found , untill

Wonder chrome, this stuff is so mild and it polishes very well, you get a sealer as well so the chrome stays shiny for longer ,it is great

spots of rust , i use a stanley blade to lightly rub off the rust, this works because the rust will frictionize ( SP made up word) the blade slides over the chrome, meets resistance on the rust and removes it.
carefull is the name of the game with this but it works well if applied well

I don't know how the tinfoil and soapy water works, but it does a great job.
