Folks,
The VTR website, in the wash/wax section of the maintenance manual link,
contains references to Eastwood Tripoli White for resurrecting tired
chrome pieces. I've been to the Eastwood site- the only reference is to
Tripoli or White- 2 different products...described as "to achieve a
mirror finish- the last step before plating". Yikes!
I've pulled my bumpers and bought a buffing wheel. I'd like to wash the
bumper components, then buff 'em with the right polish compound to
provide that mirror finish without removing chrome plating! Is this not
possible? Product recommendations?
I'm frustrated and confused about the best approach to chrome plate
care- and very worried about damaging (what is otherwise) reasonably
good chrome.
All comments welcome.
