Hairline chrome cracks

["A. Foster" <monkeypuzzle1@xxxxxxx>]

Bill;

 Yes there is a product, it's called wax. The wax won't eliminate the cracks but it will stop them from rusting through for a while, or getting larger. The only sure cure is to replate your bumpers. Any product claiming that it can cure cracks in the plating, without doing this, is snake oil . Someone may know different but I know of no miracle cures.

Subject: IML: Hairline chrome cracks

I have heard there is a product to either eliminate or reduce the hairline cracks which are present in chrome bumpers of vintage automobiles. My '59 has these in both the front and rear bumpers, and I would be very interested in trying this as a temporary solution before re-chroming them. Any help I could get out there would be appreciated.
