cleaning chrome
Vinegar: To clean chrome, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in undiluted white or cider vinegar.
Baby Oil: Apply baby oil with a soft cloth and polish to remove stains from chrome trim on faucets, kitchen appliances, vehicles, etc.
Aluminum Foil: Briskly scrub rust spots on car bumpers with a piece of crumpled aluminum foil, shiny side up. Also works well on the chrome shafts of
golf clubs.
Chrome faucets: are easily cleaned with soapy water. Rinse and wipe dry with a paper towel to restore luster. An old toothbrush helps get deposits of
dirt out from under edges of faucet. For hard-to-remove spots, use silver polish, rinse, and wipe dry.

Aluminium foil ( ie; the proverbial Kit Kat wrapper ) is great as a short term cure for lightly pitted chrome, only as long as you are going to sell
the item within the week.
We wouldn't do that to one another, would we?
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

My old dad taught me to use wire wool with oil on it to clean bike wheels which were rusty. Any oil will do i.e 20/50, 3-in-1 etc. Use fine grade wire
woll and put a splodge of oil on (don't drown it) and gently rub the surface, buffing of fthe oil residue when finished.

I would have thought wire wool would scratch it.
i use original T cut, seems to remove the rust marks off my range rover bumpers fine without marking them. I use so much of the stuff (for polishing
alloy too) i bought 5 litres of the stuff. just remember to put the lid back on or u will knock it over on your drive and the missus will go bonkers.
Sorry about my spelling, im an engineer and only work in numbers.
