Charlie, 
I cleaned my badly tarnished 1960 AH 3000 grill with Quick-Glo. I was very happy with the result and I can't see any damage to the to original finish.

Michael, 

My grill, which looks to be original, is tarnished and if it is a dull chrome finish then I can be fairly aggressive in cleaning it. 

Regards, 

Charlie

Hi Charles, 
Curt Arndt has researched this finish and determined that it was known as "Butler(s) chrome". I have asked a number of plating specialists about this finish but they avow all knowledge. 
I recently had a set of teeth re-plated and then, after agonizing over it for a while and doing a few experiments, gave the polished chrome a light bead blast. 
Very pleased wit the results as the finished product looks exactly the same as the NOS set on my concours gold car.

Grille 100 

    * 

Grilles have a chrome surround with a rounded top, and matte finish chrome teeth. Some late factory replacement grilles had chromed teeth, but it is believed that no cars were originally produced with this grille 
    * 

Most original polished chrome grille surrounds have a smooth round top. However many other original ones have been found with a slight flattened top and these will be also accepted without deduction. 
    * 

Two pegs locate the grille position at the bottom, and five threaded studs across the upper curve anchor the grille in place to the bodywork with U-shaped claw washers, lock washers, and nuts. These claw washers catch the upper lip of the aperture.

Would someone please tell me what the finish is on the vertical slats of a 100 grill. Thanks.
