A can of that stuff will last a loooooong time and keeps things looking nice.   Logged     Who cares what you ride???

Excellent for bugs and tar. I just heard of aluminum foil about a year ago, but aluminum wool I've used for many years. It seems to me that modern electroplating is so much thinner and softer than the old stuff. I wonder if the green weenies have gotten something removed from the electroplating that affects durability. I am aware that chroumium products are carcinogenic, just as any of the heavy metals. Just gotta wonder, since the bumpers on them 1970's Chevy trucks used to clean up real nice with a Brillo pad!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #509657 GNR10 (User) Ride On Platinum Boarder Posts: 1279 Re:Chrome polishing? 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   jd750ace wrote: Neverdull has ammonia, so does Brasso.

I bet some of it is like .0001" thin   Logged     Four wheels move the body.

I know with V.O.C.s you have to report the quantity you are using in a business cycle, like a quarterly rate or annual rate, and if you use too much in a given cycle, you have to install indicating and recording systems to monitor your V.O.C. output. Heavy metals is probably the same, if you have more than an incidental level of handling going on.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #509674 StarSergeant (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 386 Re:Chrome polishing? 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Just Dave wrote: I guess the Navy is still in me because all I ever use is Never-dull.

Hard to reach places, I use a nylon or brass toothbrush with the Never dull wadding on it...but be careful doing this on easy to see areas..... the chrome will get fine surface scratches that you can't polish out, from the brass brush. Sometimes, the degree and pitting of the rust, can make the brass brush a compromise .   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #509818 stinger (User) Hey y'all...watch this! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1511 Re:Chrome polishing? 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I have a jug of Methyl Ethyl Ketone that I got from a place I used to work. We used it to clean inkjet machines. They were changing brands & instead of throwing it away, I persuaded them to give it to me. It's the best thing in the world to clean melted rubber or plastic off exhaust pipes. Just soak the spot well, then wipe off. No Scratches! Be sure the pipes are cool, & don't smoke around it though, as it's highly flammable, & don't use it on painted surfaces! MEK is a major component in lacquer thinner, so I'm sure that would work as well.   Logged     http://s671.photobucket.com/user/jhurdle/library/?sort=6&page=1   The administrator has disabled public write access.
