Hi all

I am still quite new to detailing and tried to search for some tips and tricks on how to polish chrome, but seemingly my search skills leave a lot to be desired as I could not find anything.

I would sincerely appreciate any advice on how to polish chrome effectively, from what products to use and what process to follow.

thanking you in advance:help:

Ok so just a quick one... I read through those posts and still have a question.... a friend of mine has original chrome bumpers from a MK2 golf . He has cleaned up the bumpers, but claims that they have some swirl marks on them.

Can these be polished out, as you would paint, or will this strike through the chrome?
