Clay Bar for removing oxidation
some chrome on my truck has some lite water/oxidation spots. I'm guessing a clay bar would be the best way to get this off?

Re: Clay Bar for removing oxidation
A metal polish will work best.
You can pick one up at Wal-Mart. Metal polishes mostly work the same... I have a lot of them here and for the most part, you can not tell any real difference in performance. |

Yeah, don't bother with the clay bar. Be very careful you want to make sure you are using a non-abrasive polish on your chrome otherwise you will damage it. If you went with a product like Poorboys Professional Polish it would shine up your chrome, and be useful for polishing out marks in your paint and plastic as well.

Re: Clay Bar for removing oxidation
I bought a clay bar tonight for some road tar/paint on the bottom of the blazer and I bought some blue magic metal polish for the chrome...we'll give it a try this weekend and see how it works.

Re: Clay Bar for removing oxidation
Now, for the clay bar...it came with a bottle of lube, so after I wash it, do I have to dry it completely or can I just have some water on it, and make sure I spray it with the lube? then it says to just wipe all the lube (spray detailer) and make sure its dry and then wax? this sound right to everyone?
