Steel wool works great on exhaust pipes that are in bad condition. Back when it was used on pitted/poor_condition windshields which is still doable however much better products exist today.

So I pack my bag with 5 different metal polishes, and at the last second I remember to bring some Steel Wool.
Brilliant shine restored without even having to use a metal polish.
It was like saving his baby ![What did you do today, in regards to detailing?](https://emoji.tapatalk-cdn.com/emoji64.png) lol.
I have some minor scratches in a chrome door handle. I thought about trying steel wool but wasn't sure if it was safe and there's no place to do a test spot. The bumpers look great but I also wonder if there's a different type of plating than the one used on a door handle.

It’s different. Don’t use steel wool on plastic chrome. It’ll scratch plastic chrome. Once there’s swirls/minor scratches in plastic chrome there’s really no fix. You can remove dullness and spotting with a cleaner wax, but not swirls and scratches.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I rinseless washed the wife’s Beast. I used McKee’s Rinse Free Wash & Wax because it was what I grabbed while not looking. Neighbor washed his Durango SRT this afternoon as well. You can’t see it in the pic but looking out my front window I could see the gloss from across the street!
