truk chrome was rough, but i managed to save the grill and headlight rings.
lots of rust and pitting on the grill over the turn signal lights.
i tried the soft polish methods and ended up using 0000 steel wool and a lot of elbow grease.
steel wool didn't remove the dent at the H and it couldn't save the rusted out ts bezels.
old oem chrome was pretty tough and thick
