Okay, after months of being neglected (I'm sorry, baby. Don't worry, daddy's gonna get you lookin' good again, I promise) my front bumper looks like shit. Rust spots everywhere. Turtlewax chrome polish applied and removed with a clean sock (shut up, I'm poor) used to take off about 96% of that crap back when I used to polish it with every wash, but I'm wondering if there's something I can do to get all the little rust spots off and keep them away for more than a few weeks. I could probably just rise and repeat until everything is gone, but I have a bit of a lazy streak and if there's an easier way to do it, I'm gonna go with that.

I don't think this is a good place to use a powerball (which I don't own yet, but might someday) because I'm picturing chrome polish being flung everywhere inside the carport. Just lookin' for ideas because all I could find when I searched was stuff about cleaning rims that weren't that bad off to begin with.

Oh, and it's the original stock bumper, so it's just a few years younger than dirt.

be sure to clean it very well!....then polish it out and wax it or use a paint sealant on it....you can treat chrome exactly like a painted surface

Glass cleaner and #0000 steel wool. As long as you keep enough glass cleaner on the bumper then #0000 won't scratch it :read: Follow up with some chrome polish or wax and you're set. If you get every last bit off you can bump up to #000 but you'll probably have some mad polishing to do after that

You're beating me to everything tonight, lol. I agree though. Use some 0000 steel wool. I'd then follow up w/ professional polish, then go and top w/ a wax, etc.

Glass cleaner, awesome. Thanks, guys. Never knew I could use wax on it, but now that I think about it, it makes sense.

ya #0000 fine steel wool works the best for me

Never dull wadding works great and even removes rust pits

That fine steel wool will make old hazy chrome look new, like they said spray plenty of the glass cleaner and u will be fine.
