CHROMIUM PLATING
The method used to clean chromium plating ou a motor car has a marked effect on the durability of the surface. In no circumstances should abrasive polishes be used, as sooner or later they will wear through the chromium film. The best method is to wipe the plating over with a soft, damp rag, using a small amount of common soap. If cleaning is neglected the accumulation of dirt on the plated surface will absorb corrosive vapours and damage the plating. Greasy fingermarks should be removed with a clean, soft rag, or chamois leather moistened with a little petrol, and then polished with a dry cloth. No metal polish is needed.
