Tank and Chrome Polish
« on: June 28, 2016, 04:17:39 PM »
Does anyone have products that they use to shine up tank paint and polish chrome?  Want to get my chrome looking good and attempt to buff out some tank scratches while shinning her up. TIA

For the chrome I use a chrome polish and 0000 steel wool.

I like Mothers Chrome Polish.  Try it first without the steel wool.  Steel wool will put fine scratches in chrome.  For paint try Meguires SwirlX and follow that up with a carnuba paste wax.  If you need more aggressive polish try Meguires ScratchX.

I've seen nev-r-dull clean up chrome pretty nicely

Also heard Bartenders Friend is pretty spectacular stuff too.

Chrome's been covered, for paint I use regular auto polish and the occasional scratch and swirl remover if the tank needs it. Sometimes it just needs a good solid wash with soap and water, though. Same for side covers.
