Scuffed up chrome

[93STX]

The bumper I got is a little bit scuffed up(on the bottom half only). It looks like someone took something pretty coarse to it, maybe a scotch pad or something.
I'd like to get rid of the scuffs if I could. I figure I'll buy some real good chrome polish and polish the hell out of it and see if that works. That's my idea. Do you guys have any?

Thanks.

I heard the something called dry wash works excellent.

What is that and where could I get it? I saw some scratch and swirl remover, but it didn't say anything about working on chrome, only paint. I got some turtle wax chrome cleaner/polish I guess I'm gonna try out.

depending on the severity of those scratches you might think about replating it... they'd also fix any bumps and what-not in it... making it better than new.

here's a place I've been courting for my chroming needs.

you can check out pauls chrome as well... try googling it, I don't have the webpage address... his page is a bit dated.

I got one of those as-seen on tv chrome polishes that was on display at the cash in the parts store.

Its actually the best chrome polish I have ever used.

I was interested in this as well, I have no chrome on any of my three cars, but it is good to know about.
Did a Google search and came up with ALOT of information. Some of the basics were:

Clean
Use a FINE steel wool to prep the scratched area - will leave fine scratches
Apply sparingly a quality chrome polish such as Sonus or P21S - do a small hidden area first and see how it does
The final step is the most important - seal it so any buffing that got close to lower layers may begin to rust - but a quality wax such as Meguiars should be more than adequate.

Do some google searches for those products and other advice - when you do yours write up a how to and let the rest of us know how it came out.

Good Luck
