0000 steel wool - I've been missing out

<< < (2/3) > >>

CVODON:
Chrome is a coating, just like paint. No long term good will come from using an abrasive item on chrome. You need to look at it under a reflection light or small cheap magnifying glass. No matter what the number steel wool scratches and starts the breakdown of the chrome. I personally haven't used any of the products you describe but I recommend a dedicated chrome cleaner/polish like Mothers or Meguairs. If they are really grimy and have brake dust and tar then definitely use Iron-X, it will clean all the metallic scum safely. After getting them clean use a drying aid like P&S Beadmaker or Obsessed Garage after washing, every time. This will guarantee no water spots and leave the chrome so slick that build-up will not occur in the future.

I never tried the steel wool but my go to is Nevr-Dull, I had some burnt on rainsuit on my heat shield before, nothing would take it completely off, when I got home I broke out the Nevr-Dull and boom shiny as can be again.

Ironhorse:
I use it to get melted stuff off pipes.  Spray a little WD40 and use the 0000.
