Go back and hit it with tooth brush for a few min and it will make chrome look new with a nice polished finished and no rust. Used it on my Moroso air cleaner, I forgot to take a good before picture. But there was tiny rust spots fairly on the top in areas and inside on bottom plate. It blew my mind how well it worked. The air cleaner looks good as new.
Those look great, and thanks for another tip. Local Walmart doesn't sell the Rust for Must, and I bet they don't have Bar Keepers either. Common for this town, they usually don't have what I need, and when they do it's cheaper on Amazon. So I ordered two quarts on-line. Don't know if I'll use both, but it's there if I need it. I'm real anxious to use it on the hardware. I just took the paint off must be 300 pieces (yikes), so that's coming soon.
