Very nice. What ever you used to clean it, I bet it took a while. Looks great

I tried a few things but the best was some car cut and polish and a toothbrush. Took a few hours but most of that was masking it up and painting.

But cut and polish is the go for sure. cheep to

Brilliant! Its amazing what a bit of elbow grease does. looks like a new one now.

Looks great DJ....can see a lot of elbow grease went into it too....

You have just brought back some old memories for me...when I was young lets not go thier
Clubby Grills do come up great with a bit of a clean up and you have done a Great Effort Centre Badge also looks great also and thats one of the hardest parts when you are being particular about it.
get some Autosole on the head light surrounds and she'll be perfect.

Nice Job.

Shows us fitted also

Now all you got to get is a tin of BRIGHT SHINE from Big W, its about $10 a tin, its polish impregnated cotton wool, its absolutely amazing stuff to put on tarnished chrome, once you use it you will never clean chrome with anything else again...

BELIEVE IT OR NOT..............

Great job DJ
Must be the week for it. Did mine on Sunday.

LOL AARRGGH memories.... I had nearly blocked that one out!! Oh, the aches, the numb and cramped fingers...... But so worth it... I did mine not too long ago...
It looked a lot like yours, DJ, beforehand I dunno if I got around to takin a pic before tho dammit....



This is after paint stripper, a dremel, fingernails, toothpicks, cotton tips, half a tube of autosol, some industrial polish and LOTS of swearing and muscle....

Yours looks awesome by the way.... huge transformation!

Nice... Whats the best thing to use on the bumbers??? your look great

a proffesional!


Mine were banged up, so I had to take it to a polisher to get it straightened then re-chromed.... mmmm fresh chrome! Im glad that my home polishing job looks ok next to fresh chrome!
But in any situation, I am always happy to use autosol its brilliant, and then the stuff davo was talkin about - theres a few brands, I got one called never dull its perfect for touch ups once the car is back together cos you dont get paste stuck in grooves or anything.... and when you are using it, you just tear off bits of wadding but dont chuck the bits once you have used them, they get better, cos at first they have a bit too much stuff in them and you have to wipe on then wipe off with a clean rag. (microfibre!) After a while, its just a wipe over and you are done!
