I'm sure some of you has had a car with chrome, or a reason to polish anything chrome, but here is what I want, Personal recommendations for chrome cleaning!

I know I'll get 100 different answers, but I might as well start somewhere. I wanna make this Cadillac shine like she hasn't in 42 years.

Thanks

Try chrome cleaner.

Obviously, what should I use tho. There are 900 different brands and types, its ridiculous.

Since we are on the polishing topic... What should I use on my rims?

 

[buckshotglass]

Most of your car waxes, and mild paint cleaners would be good.
For problem areas I might try some super super fine steel wool, but only if no liquid abrasive will work.

Edit, that's for chrome, not BorHor's wheels.

That works, The chrome on this car is perfect, I was just looking for a product someone has had experience with that really will give it a lasting shine.

Mother's stuff has always done well by me.

That's called a garage. Polishing chrome is your new life.

Nice sig Dow.

That caddy wont fit in a garage.

Polishing chrome isn't a bad life hahaha, I'll get good at it I'm sure, Well I'm gonna go look at my selection and get some lead substitute.

How did you come up with something as brilliant as this? Maybe you are smarter than Ryan and I both..........:nono:

Nah, I just always write down the first thing Milo says each day.

chrome is very easy to take care of, just keep it clean, and dry it to prevent spots...

polish works, but is over rated (unless you have bad spots)

if you have to use steel wool (starts of rust or pitting) you need to finish with polish to get rid of the scratches that will cause more rust.

it's not hard, just time consuming (I had some nightmare chrome wheels on my truck)

COCA COLA!!! Ever seen Mythbusters?

J/k. I love the mothers chrome polish. It just takes some elbow grease.

 

[Poodles]

coca cola does work believe it or not...

Unless it's been rechromed in the last 42 years, it's not going to shine like new. I used to use turtle wax chrome polish when I had chrome. Chrome tends to get foggy when it gets old if it wasn't taken care of. Yours looks pretty good from what I can see in the pics.
