Anybody got a nifty trick for removing light rust on chrome?

*67Fleetsidedream* · 01-13-2004, 05:05 PM

Coke cola and aluminum foil. Mythbusters proved that it works.

toothpaste, brasso, or neverdull all can be found at walmart

steelwool works really well. Also mothers mag polish. Jeff.

If you use steel wool, make sure you use 0000 fine.

red71cheyenne · 01-13-2004, 07:01 PM

yep. thats what I use to take the rust off of bumpers, door handles, all that crap. mothers works well too. Jeff.

Neverdull (or any equivalent wadding polish) works WONDERS on lightly rusted chrome.

I second the Nevr-Dull idea. May as well use something it was meant for.

Yep, another vote for Never Dull.

I heard about some stuff called Blue Magic Metal Polish Cream from somebodys post. I bought some and it worked pretty good. I was surprised how good it did on my chrome as it was pretty rusty. It got most of it off and shined up pretty good. Got it at Parts America
