Title: zCaring for Chrome Post by: NES304 on May 22, 2013, 11:26:24 AM So I don't continue to Hijack PEDRO's thread...
What's the best way to care for stuff that's been rechromed then? I noticed my front bar (was done 6 years ago and never seen water) is coming up with rust spots... >:( I've heard Mr. Sheen is pretty good Title: Re: zCaring for Chrome Post by: mcl1959 on May 22, 2013, 07:26:04 PM Basically anything that is waterproof. From oil or grease to wax and anything in between.

I lived near sorry 10 metres near a train line little specks of rust started setlling all over my car . Made a mess... like tar sprayed on but weeping russt.
