I have a couple of chrome frames that have light scratches  from brake cables that have dulled the chrome, what's the best way to do this without removing too much chrome? I don't really want to use autosol and would appreciate the best way to do this to bring back the shine.

Cheers

Marty

Peek polish less abrasive than Autosol
Goddard's Silver cloth less than that
Would try those in the first instance, although if the chrome plate itself is too scratched / worn then no amount of polish can replace it

I've got a Goddards Cloth, that works a treat on minor dullness.  Not tried Peek, have used Meguiars Metal Polish which is gentler than Autosol will have a look for Peek tomorrow  :daumenhoch:
