While winter is here I'm trying to remove all the chrome parts off my cobra and polish them up. The chrome on my wheels is fully in tact and generally in great shape but has a "haze" or cloudiness. I've tried just a cheap turtle wax chrome polish with a mothers power cone and it's not doing much of anything. Any suggestions how to get rid of that?

Pics. You can see at the end of the spoke and the flat surface between spoke is dull.

Being a Harley guy I have a good bit of experience with shiny chrome. (sigh)
I'm not a chromer nor do I know the deep ins and outs of chrome plating.

What I do know is that paint can be polished and chrome is chrome.
What does that mean? Chrome can't be polished like you can clear coat.

It can be made to look better but "from the pics" it looks like you may have lots of fine scratches.
There are many chrome polishes out there but they do not "polish"...they clean, brighten and protect.

There are a few products I use in different situations with different chrome issues.
Pitting, fine scratches etc. all require different products to "improve" the look.
If you'd like to PM me I'll be glad to suggest a couple of products that may help.
