All my pieces matter 

....Im steering clear

Just out of curiosity.....Has anyone on here ever tried Brasso on chrome, with any decent findings?

i've used brasso on nickel forks and they came up really good.

i'd defo use again on nickel, but not tried on chrome though

I recently tried some Silvo.Made by same people as Brasso.Its sold as "for silver,silver plate and electro plate".After polishing with Peek give a quick polish with Silvo.Gives the chrome a nice shine,a bit like the Goodards cloth but slightly better to my eye.Might be worth a try.

I had some rust patches on a F+F & used Mr Muscle oven foam & it worked a treat. Personally I would never use Coke & foil...

I use Silvo on most of my frames bro. You really have to polish it off as it leaves a clear film on the chrome. Polishes up nice though and not harsh either

it's all worth a try - just don't do it on a piece that you value

I have read thread after thread to try and fathom the best way for removing rust from chrome. There are still so many different ways. On my Exhibitionist I used Mr Muscle oven as suggested by Retrodan and a stanley blade as suggested by Bendy. Worked well for the heavy stuff and am pleased with the results. I will peek it off next to see how that works.

You have to understand that no matter what you try, there will only be so much you can do to old chrome. Try not to set your standards beyond what it was like when it was first put on all those years ago. The survivor look is by far the better choice though as I have come to appreciate over the years

I take it your not a 'Coke and tin foil' lover 

In seriousness, your post was an amazing insight into why the chrome goes the way it does and what can be done to rectify it as best as possible. Your goose is certainly cooking. What kind of polish do you use ? I have some 'Peek' on order that will be arriving anytime (hopefully tomorrow). Is it any good ? There are a few people on here that swear by the stuff but then again there are others that swear by 'Coke and tinfoil'  How is a guy supposed to know what to do for the best.

I guess that just goes to show how things can be misread and not come accross as they were intended. What i meant by using the  smiley was, I was frustrated as i followed information posted on this forum which turned out to be not the best method. It was me having a go at myself. Bendy's information has made a lot more informative sense to me. I never meant to offend and if i did i apologise
