chrome

[gadget73]

If you have really nasty looking chrome and you want to polish it up, find some Brasso with the rest of the home cleaning supplies in a store. It works very well, but it is a bit more agressive than most metal polishes so you have to be careful. I would not suggest it for nice shiny stuff, just dull nasty looking metal that isn't responding to anything else.

+1 on NvrDull.

[Mr. Land Yacht]

NevrDull is good stuff.

But I also have had good results with Mothers Chrome Polish.

I go overkill on my wheels for summer.lol...wash with car wash/simple green/wheel cleaner...polish with Mothers...then some liquid wax like Mothers/Meguiars/Black Magic.
ends up lookin' pretty dern nice.

Speaking of chrome - Colin, I still have those visor/shade things that go over the side windows, I saved them when cutting off the roof cause they were in too good of a shape - dunno if you have those on your car, or whether you even want them, but if you do you can have them - they're only taking up space here, and I don't think I'll be getting another Panther any time soon. I ain't sure about them mounting clips tho, gotta look around for those.

I got some Mothers seems like good stuff. Question. How often do you polish?

[CheeseSteakJim]

When the chrome starts to look like it could use a polish. :p

[DarkKnight]

Humm, Well so far it aint got dull But it get's dusty. What should i do to keep it clean looking? use a paper towl on it? I would think that would make micro scratches

[gadget73]

If its just dusty, Windex on a towel is fine. I only like to polish metal when wiping it off doesn't bring back the shine.

[DarkKnight]

Ok, now im confused.I thought windex striped all the polish off of it?

I have questions that're chrome/metal related.

Ok I have two chrome tips on my truck but they've got scratches in them so it feels rough. What can I do to get the scratches out without damaging the chrome? I was thinking sandpaper but I have a feeling they won't be so shiny after that. What do yall recommend?

Also I want to clean up my wheels and get them looking polished and shiny. They aren't chrome, so is there just a metal polish that will work?

After I get my question answers i'll release the thread again

Dan, use EagleOne aluminum cleaner, or turtle wax cleaner, they work AMAZING.

DK, have you tried a microfiber cloth they work wonders, and aren't rough like papertowels.

[79lincolnlover]

Yeah, I only use papertowels for household needs.

[The Famous Lee]

Exactly, I don't trust papertowels when I work on my car, I use shoptowels, and rags for engine work, and microfiber clothes for cleaning.

[88Vic]

I wipe my wheels off with paper towels and they get off tons of black gunk. Then after all the black stuff I can get with a dry paper towel is off I use wet paper towels and that gets off the remaining black stuff and they look nice and shiny compared to before but not show worthy.

Not to go way off topic. But dude be carfull with that black shit. I recommend a mask and gloves and be sure to wash your hands rather well afterwards.
