hookys6stringbass Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Can anyone suggest something that will bring up the chrome on a 30 year old set of machineheads that have lost there shine???? Quote
Prosebass Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 If the chrome is still intact pay a visit to Halfords or a local car spares/accessory shop and get a tube of Solvol Autosol. I used to use it for car restoration. Alternatively Duraglit wadding is excellent if you can find it in a hardware shop. Quote
GreeneKing Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Solvol Autosol is good but take care not to overdo it as it can remove the chrome over time. A milder alternaltive is toothpaste, and it smells better. Can't hurt to give it a try. Cheap toothpaste (an abrasive) is best. Peter Quote
mrcrow Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 chrome can thin out...its just a coating i would laquer after getting the shine back solvol autosol does aluminium and most metals plating is a different story so go easy Quote
