Hello,

Thanks..

You can try Never Dull. I used to polish my chrome on my old truck with that and it was working fine for me.

This is the stuff I've used on aluminum. Made it look like chrome.

The less "chrome polish" you use, the better; it's abrasive, and every time you use it, it removes some of the very thin layer of clear chrome that protects the bright nickel underneath it. When the clear chrome is gone, the nickel is exposed, and starts to pit and delaminate. Use WAX on chrome to protect it, not "polish".

Norm - Maybe this is the one I used on chrome . . .

and this is the one I used on aluminum.

I only use it when I need to remove blemishes.

I honestly never use chrome polish. Last time I used chrome polish when I was buying cars in the 70's when the bumpers started pit up from the salt being on them to long.

Listen to John Z. Polish is an abrasive use it and you lse some chrome. Clean it and wax it.

 

[Andy]

I do agree with what John is saying. As a matter of fact, I spoke with anchromer who just did a few pieces for me and he suggested using mothers on them..just wax...

BUT..I have a few pieces not made of Nickel..They are made of ZINC, which is a porous metal to begin with and the plating process doesn't work as well on this metal as opposed to say "pewter" or "Nickel".....Pieces are dull..and I need to brighten them up considerably. I have tried the mothers Mag and aluminum stuff and I agree that works on some products. I tried it on this piece and NOTHING....so, therefore the post.

Appreciate everyones comments........

I think it was BarryK who sent everything on his '65 out for rechrome. When he got his stuff back, he used chrome polish on one of the rear bumpers, and then it had swirls everywhere. I haven't used chrome polish since reading that post.

My car has a lot of chrome and the bumpers definitely have swirls that I don't think were there when I bought the car. I used to use Mothers, now I just use Carnuba when I wax the car. -John

I dont believe there is abrasives in never dull...its a wax as far as i know...it goes on wet , drys, buff it off...works great on my chrome from 1973.

I did a search on "Never Dull," and it looks like it's made by Eagle products. Is that the company that makes the polish you guys are talking about? I just want to make sure before I order it online. -John

Im sure thats it...they have it at most auto parts stores, but maybe not in your area.
The stuff is a wadding in a can...you peal off a piece and your up and running...i keep the used pcs in a plastic bag for really dirty stuff and finish with a fresh pc...one can lasts me a season of driving...may to oct...it works great on chrome and my edelbrock engine parts that have a shine....and you should see the rings on my ralley wheels when im done!
