To keep chrome looking nicer for longer you should wax it after cleaning. If the imperfections are small then you might be able to repair the part. Shift the rag periodically and replace it when it gets dirty.

After the automakers moved away from wooden wheels most vintage cars used some kind of decorative cover over the basic steel wheel. Old cars often sport chrome bumpers mirrors or other parts. You should clean convertibles with lukewarm water neutral soap suds and a brush with soft bristles.

Apply baby oil with a soft cloth and polish to remove stains from chrome trim on faucets kitchen appliances vehicles etc. Again this can also be done with spray cans - Just spray a coat of paint wet sand spray a coat wet sand etc. I use this all the time it cleans grime off super fast and easy.

Buff it out with an old cotton sock -probably a clean one would be best. If you have been overdoing the wax over the years take it down with turpentine and a clean rag. One of the areas that perennially challenges the restorer is the location and restoration of hubcaps.

If the chrome is seriously damaged you will have to replace the part or strip the chrome and re-chrome it. Wash the chrome with soap and water rinse and dry it with a towel. If you clean your chrome frequently a little dish soap and some warm water work just as well as commercial chrome cleaners.
