G'day,

One of my Mates down here taught me a trick to polish rusty chrome; use a wad of aluminum foil! It worked great on a rusty car
bumper I have at my shop.

Regards,
Rob M.

Found this surfing on the net. This product will also put a wax
protective coating to slow down the formation of rust.

I bought both the regular and fine version. The fine work really well in polishing glass getting all the minerals off.

Four zero steel wool (0000).
Works great on chrome surfaces but DO NOT use on stainless steel.

The chrome polish guys use red jewelers rouge on aluminum rims, you can get it at Harbour Freight.  Ploishing Airstreams use 2 grits (super fine and stupid fine) .  It's a 5 stage process costing @ 9 hours a foot!   Don't even go there...
