Polishing Chrome
« on: September 25, 2011, 08:09 AM »
Whats the general opinion on the best product to use for polishing a chrome frame & forks? I'm not talking about removing rust or anything, just whats best to polish chrome on a frame thats been sat in a box for the last 26 years.

Cheers

Peek is one of the best chrome polishes out there.  You can usually pick it up in Halfords.

Yes - But Peek liquid, not the paste

Meguiars is ok and Autosol silver aint bad but i use Peek liquid (not paste in the tube) you need the tin. Or belgum is also a good one.

autosol is meant for alloy and is too abrasive for chrome, it will wear it away in the end

Agree with this on the autosol tubed paste but I found the liquid was as mild as peek and ok.

Agree 100% on the Goddards, I also bought the Goddards cleaning paste recently and it makes things shiny as a shiny thing.  :4_17_5:
