<HTML>Chrome Cleaning Methodology:
•Thoroughly rinse surface to remove any loose surface dirt or dust.
•Wash the surface with a citrus-based APC cleaner (P21S Total Auto Wash)
•Use a cleaner (Simichrome or Klasse All-In-One) to remove any surface blemishes
•Use a mild polish (P21S Multi-Surface Finish Restorer) to prevent re-oxidation and provide a water-resistant coating and restore lustre to the chrome
•To restore chrome that is pitted or has rust spots, remove with #0000 synthetic steel wool and /or a metal polish (Auto Wenol Blue, or use Red for chrome restoration)
•Finally apply a polymer sealant (Zoopseal) to provide lasting protection
