markiemark Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 hi there every one. i have brought some really nice chrome parts, they have been in a engine bay at a scrap yard. the bloke had no idea so i got a really good price. the only problem is that it has seat in the yard with no bonnet. so it has got a lot of stubben rain marks and what looks lime scale. any ideas i get some photos asap. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Autosol is a good start, if not buy yourself a polishing kit, depends on how good you want it to be.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Use normal car polish on a soft rag if its chrome or if its polished ally depending how stained the parts are. Pictures of the parts would def help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Use normal car polish on a soft rag if its chrome or if its polished ally depending how stained the parts are. Pictures of the parts would def help They sound to me like just polished if thats the case then use Autosol or similar then just work them with a soft cloth, they may be too far gone though and might need to be buffed to remove the oxidisation of the ally. If the parts are chromed then a chrome polish shuch as "brilliant" would bring them back to lustre. I wouldn't recommend a polishing kit on chrome parts, you are likely to buff the chrome off back down to its nickel layer if you aren't careful !

SupraJames Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Can recommend the Briliant polishes, prob the best I have ever used, get some of the Chrome & Hot Environment Polish, its great stuff for engines and exhausts. If not the Meguairs Metal Polish is also very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
