Chrome bumper polishing?

[Charleston]

What would you use on a bumper like this? Can I use a PC with a pad, and polish?

What method would you use?

You could use a PC, but I think I would tape up the rubber with painters tape and do it by hand.

On chrome I would do it by rotory with a cutting pad and compound. You cant halogram chrome.

IIRC, those might be aluminum, clearcoated? CRS is setting in.

[Charleston]

Anyone else?

What is CRS?

Can't Remember S**t
Are they steel or aluminum?

[Bates Detailing]

That tad bit of metal means do it by hand in my opinion.

Are they just faded uncoated aluminum? I thought polishing actual chrome plated finishes was a BIG no-no.

Ahh, a Wagoneer.
I had a 1980 Jeep Cherokee Golden Eagle (bought new) and if I remember correctly, yes, they are plated Alu Bumpers.

On my Waggy those bumpers always looked dull.

MarkD51,
Plated or clear coated, do you remember?
It's a beast of a vehicle for sure, that one looks in great condition!
