47-55.1 Preserving Chrome

[mr48chev]

My dad's buddys who used to own the Chrome shop in Yakima would put a coat of Rally wax on fresh chrome when they had it ready to deliver. They didn't buff it up or anything but Buck said that the wax would keep the chrome in good shape a lot longer. You don't want to keep polishing it all that often as polishing wears through the chrome. Buck showed me some pieces that he said he was redoing for the third time in probably 30 years because the owner loved to polish his car and his chrome and wore though the paint and chrome by polishing it way too much. The bars he did on my grill in 1982 still look good except for the ones my son backed in to with his car. I need to replace two bars but have replacements.
