How to Polish Chrome
Chrome can greatly enhance the appearance of a car, especially if it is properly shined. If the chrome is dirty or dull looking it can make the car look poorly maintained. Shiny chrome can really make a car stand out. Polishing chrome is something that you can easily do by following a few simple and easy instructions.
How to Polish Chrome
- Purchase a polish that is specifically made for chrome. The chrome can be easily damaged if you do not use the right type of polish. It can be purchased from most automotive supply stores and you can ask the clerk if there is a specific type of polish that they recommend using.
- Use a mixture of soap and warm water to thoroughly clean the chrome. Make sure you remove all the dirt and mud on the surface. This should be done because any dirt remaining on the chrome can causes scratches when rubbing on the polish.
- Use a soft cloth to dry the surface of the chrome. It is recommended that it be patted dry instead of rubbed.
- Use a soft cloth to rub the polish onto the chrome. Refer to the directions to see how long you should allow the polish to stay on.
- Use a soft dry towel to wipe the polish off.
- Apply a thin coat of wax to the chrome.
- Use a soft dry towel to buff the chrome. This will give it a mirror finish.
