Chrome Cleaning
Always use the least abrasive product first (you could try talcum powder on a damp micro fibre cloth or a terry towel (a little more abrasive) if this does not remove the marring use a mild chrome polish
Cleaning Methodology:
•Thoroughly rinse surface to remove any loose surface dirt or dust.
•Wash the surface with a citrus-based APC cleaner (P21S Total Auto Wash)
•Use a cleaner (Simichrome or Klasse All-In-One) to remove any surface blemishes
•Use a mild polish (P21S Multi-Surface Finish Restorer) to prevent re-oxidation and provide a water-resistant coating and restore lustre to the chrome
•To restore chrome that is pitted or has rust spots, remove with #0000 synthetic steel wool and /or a metal polish (Auto Wenol Blue, or use Red for chrome restoration)
•Finally apply a polymer sealant (Zoopseal) to provide lasting protection
Due to the softness of the metallic plating it is very easy to induce a swirl marks to the finish so use straight-line motions only. Use a soft brush to remove any dried polish from seams or folds. For both chrome and highly polished aluminum, use a mildly abrasive metal polish (Iz™ Einszett Metal Polish or Groit's Chrome Polish).
