Restoring Chrome

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hi Marc,
I used very fine wire wool and loads of WD40. It depends on the chrome though; the chrome on the mudguards doesn’t seem as good as the exhaust so I couldn’t use wire wool as it scratches. For the mudguards I used one of those plastic/sponge kitchen scouring pads. Just test an area carefully before you do any damage. I am doing the bike to ride not show so the result is good enough, takes a bit of time but worth it.

There is restoration and then there is resurrection, neither of which will happen to that guard  ;D. Why not spray it black if you don't fancy buying a new one John.

You're right Julie, no amount of WD40 is going to save this. But so far I have rescued the the down pipes and collector, front and rear mudguards, handle bars, points cover and kick start so I think I'm going to spend a bit of money  :) :) :).
