As some of you know or maybe don't know my VC is polished chrome. When winter is finally over, I'd like to clean it. Now when I look at it, it has like wintery crap spots all over it. It seems like it's baked in or something cause I tried to clean with a wet shamwow ( ) But it didn't do anything. I was told I can use polish cleaner and engine degreaser and a pressure washer to clean it. I want to make sure if this is correct info?

 

if it is polished...and not sealed (clear coat, clear powder) then the only way is to polish....it is "tarnishing" or "oxidizing"...only way to fix is to polish it with some metal polish and elbow grease

 

Not sure I had this place do it: http://www.mirrorfinishpolishing.com/

 

Hey I know that guy.... he's on a local forum of mine with a badass supra

 

find out if it has a clear or not....otherwise no one will be able to tell you...b/c what works for one could possibly **** the other up

 

Alright I sent the guy an email. Or if possibly faster response, 1badblueberry do you think you can ask him?

 

I'd have to do the same thing... he's not on the local forum all the time!

 

Use Aircraft Remover...

 

Oh alright never mind then I'll just wait for his email.

 

I sent him a PM on the forum... we'll see!

 

I just found this, does this help? http://www.mirrorfinishpolishing.com...service-1.html

 

alright yes...it appears they do not use a clear so any metal polish and some good ol' elbow grease

 

Yeppers.... it's jut polished not sealed! So chrome polish and good ole' muscle power!

 

I won't have to take it off again will I? And it will remove anything baked onto it?

 

Nah, it's just like polishing your wheels!

 

Some 3M rubbing compound might work to remove the spots, and then some metal polish afterward.

 

Ok thanks guys! Also is there some kind of protectant I can put on it to keep it clean and protected for the future? Or will the polish do that?

 

not tthat i know of....just polish it more often

 

If it's an SS/TC... and i'm assuming you guys have snow/salt like we do up her in michigan... use a mr clean magic eraser. Took the brown, oxidized looking spots right off without having to break my arm scrubbing like i did with a few other products
