WHATS THE BEST WAY TO POLISH CHROME?
« on: March 23, 2006, 09:27 PM »
I have a set of redline double pinch cranks and ring, and although the chrome is not bubbled or flaked, its a bit dull. Does anyone know the best way to polish it? What can I buy to do it?

I have just started to clean up my bike and have tried the following stuff (including one of everything the local auto shop had)....

Tin Foil - Awesome and free - you can normally find boxes of it in the kichen...!

T-cut have recently launched a metal polish - don't seem too bad

Classic one Autosol - be careful as it can be very abrasive

and finally I tried Meguiars nxt generation All metal Polyish (i kid you not...)  This stuff was great at putting the bling back in your chrome - crap at removing stuff - but as a polish - it is pretty good.
