when using panel hammer and dolly on chrome ....coat the surfaces with a thin film of grease....it stops the tools from grabbing the chrome and is much easier than wrapping tools.

I’d say when removing dry rust from metal a face mask should be worn, you don’t want to inhale rust particles it’s like fiberglass dust it never leaves your lungs

How is this channel not bigger? Such good quality in production and information.

Love your clear and concise instruction as you share you ideas and experience. I appreciate your work sir.

Did you forget to discuss how you handle the "blemishes" on the chromed surface as mentioned at 2:27 in the video? Maybe I missed that part. Those can be a bugger. I've used Dupont no7 rubbing compound diluted in a bucket of water with a very fine brass cup brush on a small rotary drill. Just dancing the cup brush lightly on the rust. Clean and float in by dabbing chrome paint with a fine artist brush. Let cure and and buff out with a quality chrome polish. Then waxed. Tedious yes but looks passable when complete. Great tips you've shown for the interior bumper.

That Hammered Rustolium is great stuff and lasts a long time. I restored my outdoor house lights with it and it looked better than new and 2 years later in the hot humid Florida sun and they still look great.

Thanks for uploading this video. It saved me a fortune restoring the old trim's instead of replacing them 😁

i use cola aluminum foil. I crumple the aluminum foil and drink it with cola. Then I use it to buff away the rust. Then just polish it up and clean.

Really helpful without the theatrics. Great advice. Thanks.

Thanks for the information. Doing my interior trim on my 64 impala ss. Like using OG parts and picked up some not so perfect trim. Video definitely helped me decide how to polish it up. 💯

Great ideas! Simple easy to understand. Great video!

Great video learned alot in just 1 video

Thank you for the good information.

Sir you doing great job🔥💯

On the inside I would spray WD40. I'm refurbishing an old snare drum hoop and it takes care of the REALLY rusty parts pretty good!

Great video!

This guy is awsome. 600 buck so keep rubbin

Thanks for a great video I have a question I have a beetle pop out windows and the chrome frame has scratches and small dents how can I fix it

Seeing how nice that turned out my 20 year old trucks bumper will be noice

Great job looks fantastic

Thanks man this helped me a lot

Great video

Perfect, I have some chrome I need to clean up! Got any tips for cleaning vanish out of a fuel tank?

Ever herd of bronze wool mostly available at marine supply stores

Looks good.

Great video. Good info.

Would you please list the name/link to that first spray you used to clean it and other products you used in the video. Thank you!

😮😮😮😮 looks great

Nice vid. Do you not expect the rust to re emerge from the invisible pin holes in the chrome which is where I am told the original rust blossoms came from? I mean you clean the surface but, the problem is the rust is continuing under the chrome and will eventually pop out and return.

put a wire wheel brush in a drill to scrub that rust out of the backside of the bumper

On the inside of the bumper you need to treat that rust with an acid wash before painting not just paint over the freaking thing .

What was the spray you first used to clean the bumper?

👍

Some jerk poured some colored liquid on my My Honda Shadow Aero chrome pipes as I parked it. Needless to say, the hot pipes baked whatever it was onto the pipes. In my attempts to clean them, I ended up just scratching them based on several videos on youtube - lastly using 400 grit sandpaper! Big mistake! Should I have been using 2000 grit? How do I get them back to unscratched, shiny chrome?

What/ how did you use to make the black rubber look new?

I'm beginning a restore on a Merc 126. Bumper chrome is a bit like the one in your video. Could you please list the various treatments that you used on the Beetle bumper.. My hearing's not great, so missing a few of the names..I got the bit about the 000 wire wool, but other treatments escaped me !!.I'l in Dublin Great video

One important point is that modern cars with chrome accents like those on my 2003 Honda Pilot bumper guards which have a chrome finish are only made of plastic. I note this because my wife tried your first fix on our chrome and ruined the bumper accents with steel wool. You should repost this video with a warning not to try that on modern bumpers. She was only trying to get hard water spots off the chrome and I ended up needing to replace those "chromed" plastic parts.

ow about alluminum trim for instance windshield,window trim

How to repair chrome bumper warp up due tow truck? The lower bumper bend up,How to make straight back with simple tools?

Nice !! Just saved my 150 bucks 👍👍 subscription from me my friend

Oh sure, we can all buff away chrome surface corrosion but my question is , as always, how can you restore chrome when there isn't any. When there are chips of chrome missing or corrosion nodules that won't budge. Rechrome !

"Chrome" felt pen or just a silver felt pen? Looks like silver !

Ford Maverick bumpers are $500 a piece. I cried a little inside 🤣

In the video you said you’d speak to dealing with pits. You did not.

What spray did you use

Hmm, I think it'll cost about that much ($150) to replace my pitted and rusted chromed gear shift selector on the side of my NC750X engine. *sigh*

Chrome spray needs to be 2k cleared and looks like chrome don't tell anyone you put chrome'shops out of business
