scotch brite vs chrome

I guess I should stop shampooing with a scotch brite pad, huh? Doh!

My rear anti sway bar was never "mirror" finished like that bumper, more of the finish of a shiny nickle, but when I cleaned it with scotch brite & WD40 it looked more like brushed or satin finish aluminum, worse than that spot on the bumper you scuffed with scotch brite. I still don't think my anti sway bar was chrome. But damn, I've used steel wool to clean chrome before with no problemo, I didn't realize scotch brite was that much more agressive!

Bill, I can see you laying on your back in the reflection of the bumper, now get up and get back to work!

LOL

your dull finished friend on the PIBB, George

It is beer thirty in Carolina!! You are OK with steel wool with chrome and glass, the finer the better. I have to deal with overspray everyday. Yeh, I was laying down..off the job..I though I may have fogged myself away..LOL

You might be able to buff a lot of it out with polish and a high speed buffer.
Can't hurt at this point.
