About forty years ago, chrome parts were an indispensable attribute of the car, giving it the proper charm. Then the cars somehow faded. Gradually, metal, wherever possible, was replaced with plastic, and chrome gave way to various kinds of sputtering and films. However, the terminology turned out to be tenacious, and therefore the shiny molding or the larva of the castle is usually called chrome. And if there was a desire to return such a detail to its original appearance, then we must look for on the shelves a tool sharpened just under the chrome. This is not difficult - in half an hour we found eight such drugs.
Ninth, the company decided to take something not at all automotive - just for fun. What, say, is cleaned with a clouded water tap or a reinforced shower hose? So among the “pros” was a household wagon - the Russian Cillit. The task for all was one: to remove traces of oxides from the experimental parts and, if possible, to polish. The assessment is visual, and the time and effort spent are also taken into account.
Not a single remedy caused enthusiastic enthusiasm: in television advertising, the dirt disappears much faster. However, there is no failure: fresh plaque is removed quite easily. But the battle with ancient oxides took place for a long time, hard and, frankly, ended not painfully successfully. As usual, “unprofessional” pleased: he dealt with oxides no worse than the others, merciless to old spots.
Not the last argument when choosing a tool will be its price, reduced to volume. Our brief comments are in the photo gallery. Good luck … and sunny bunnies!
