Removing surface rust from Chrome

[weathersh09]

Anyone know a good way to "restore" the chrome and remove some light surface rust?

The Best way I have found is with aluminum foil, Roll in a ball shiny side out and rub away, does a good job and won't scratch.

I use "chrome polish" .
Available at any auto parts store.

My better half uses white vinager and water on all if my rusty tools and stuff works prety good.
I can't find half of my rusty tools as they are soaking in a pan somewhere :head bang: and they
don't look like mine :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: k: k:

I saw a really cool product that re-chromed even old pitted chrome on YouTube once, but I couldn't find it again. It was done in Jay Lenno's famous garage. I believe one of the guys here first posted the link.

~O~

Without a doubt, Naval Jelly. It is a corrosive so watch where you put it BUT if you can get the piece off and coated you just need to rinse it off with water and you will be surprised at HOW clean the chrome is. I did my daughters wheels on her bike years ago and my wife was stunned. She really thought we would have to replace them.

I've read where some have used oven cleaner to clean up rusted chrome exhaust. I've never tried in myself.

I find that a good roughing up with some 400 grit paper, a couple coats of self-etching primer and a final couple coats of gloss or semi gloss rattle can paint does wonders....and you don't have that shiny stuff that needs to be constantly polished...but hey, that's just me! :whistling:

 

[slabghost]

I like that look better than chrome too! :good:

 

[bk2valve]

Me too slabghost, but we are in the distinct minority....oh well, lots of chrome for them that likes it....
