Cleaning Chrome

["David Sherratt" <dave-tracy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The best way I have found to clean chrome or stainless steel is by using the method I used when I was in the Army for cleaning up the metalwork on our dress uniforms.  Coat the metal in Brasso (you can buy it or nick it from Woolworths 2 & 3 ha'peths a tin), when dry sprinkle on some ordinary washing powder, leave for a few minutes then very gently with an old toothbrush carefully clean the metalwork with a lttle warm water so the washing powder becomes a paste.  This has got me out of many of ten o'clock staff parades when I was a bad lad in the Army!

Hello;

 I would try either chrome polish or brasso, which ever is handier. If it's really grungy then the #0000 steel wool would likely work well as furniture refinishers use it to rub out old finishes to clean them up and chrome is a lot harder to destroy then varnish. I just use an S.O.S pad on bicycle rims an handle bars but I am not putting them up for show.
