Chrome ????

[Vettecor]

What product does everyone recommend for Chrome?



I have a 1962 Ford Thunderbird that I am getting ready for upcoming carshows and want something that really makes the chrome stand out!



There is a little bit of oxidation on some of the chrome (around the bumpers).



I used Klasse AIO today and they look pretty good, but wanted to know what the experts think.



Thanks as always.

I`ve been partial to Semichrome, but would like to hear what others have to say. Semichrome does take a lot of elbow grease.

One Grand`s first product in 1933 was chrome polish and I really like it a lot!

Any other suggestions? Would Meguire`s All Metal Polish #28 be good?



If so, can I purchase at local autoparts store?





Thanks

Hi Larry,



I use this product http://www.topoftheline.com/rolmetpolkit.html for my metal cleaning and polishing needs and they work great.



Thier is a "compund" and it may be a bit too aggressive for your needs so all you may need is the medium cleaner (in the smaller tin) and the polish (in the white plastic jar).



I know it says "Aluminum Polish" but they work great on chrome also. You can use their metal sealant when all done or a good quality paste wax. If you have any questions ask for Irene and she can help you out.



The One Grand chrome polish is also an excellant polish/cleaner but for chrome only as it will damage aluminum.



Hope that helps,

Anthony

Like you, I have honest-to-gawd chrome (not silvery plastic) on my 70s cars. Maybe other, more experienced folks will weigh in and correst me ... but what I do is: When doing regular cleaning/shining, I use Mothers Chrome Polish on it. But on the concours venue, for final shining, I give the chrome a polish with NevrDull. Nothing I`ve tried gives a better shine to good chrome than NevRDull. But ... YMMV.

Lynn,



Mothers and NevrDull do work great and they are easily bought also!



I have in my notes somewhere a home brew for cleaning chrome that, if I remember correctly, consists of lemon juice and cornstarch......or somethin like that:)



If I find it I`ll post it up.



Take care,

Anthony
