Metal/chrome polish - Outstanding

You'd be mistaken to believe you can't remove light scuffs from chrome. I thought I may need to use finest steel wool, and even then wasn't sure it would come out. All it took was a terry cloth and 3M product. The image of the results was not taken @ same time or light as the former, and didn't come out like I'd hope (sorry). Unfortunately it's packed it way...but the chrome is mint.
