Re: Chrome rust??

I'm thinking of trying this on my chrome emblem. I have a '57 Chevrolet chrome emblem on my tailgate and this winter's salt was been BAD. The emblem no longer looks chrome but more like a dull white.

Anyone think putting some of this blue magic chrome polish on it will clean it up?

Re: Chrome rust??

thats ironic...i use the blue magic on a 57 chevy the actual thing lol....just used it the other day on my dads back bumper, the building we keep it in holds condensation somehow, and it tarnished the bumpers over the winter....blue magic hooked it right up..only like 5 bucks a bottle..

Re: Chrome rust??

Hrm well I guess I could try cola, I just tend to trust commercial products more than ideas. Plus a couple bucks won't do me in.

sdime98: so blue magic worked good on the truck? I don't think mine's rusting its just completely lost any sparkle of chrome and is a super dull white.
