How to Polish your Rusty Chrome

  1. Got rusty wheel trims or chime bits? Here's a little video trick for ya

    Read about this years ago and used to do it all the time when I worked restoring classic cars.

    You need some aluminium foil from your kitchen, you know, the stuff you wrap your turkey in at Christmas

    And a bucket of water. That's a simple as it is.

    Hope it's of some use to you all

  4. But don't reuse the foil for the turkey

  6. I've always used foil with cola... Didn't know it worked with only water!

  7. Cool great tip, I used brasso and it takes much longer.
     
  8. I've also used wire wool with T cut metal polish

    Search Youtube. There are loads.
     
  14. In summary, scrunch up foil, dip in water and scrub chrome with a vigorous motion. Repeat until you have cramp.

    Not sure a video helps much!
