Clean/Polish plastic chrome on Euro

[aaronng]

How do you guys keep the chrome plastic sections of the door handle and window rim clean and shiny? Do you use some kind of product or just a supersoft cloth? What if it has fine scratches (the size of swirl marks), what could you do to get it shiny again?

I don't use anything to clean the chrome bits, it sounds like you have and they scratched. I just wipe the bits with a cloth. They get grubby easily, I just wipe them down when I wash the car.

I just ran a cotton cloth over them, and it was a bit scratched on 1 section... Damn, oh well, stupid me. I'll try to get one of those microfibre cloths instead and try that.

I just use terry toweling, or my shirt!

You could try some of that rim wax or normal car wax to hide the scratches, I don't really know how effective it would be. You might just have to try it.

Hhehehe, seeing that it is so fragile.... I just don't dare...

i use a microfibre cloth- its truly excellent for the chrome bits on the euro

Okok, microfibre cloth it is. I'll pinch one off that was used for my camera before. Wash it a bit and dedicate that to the shiny bits. Thanks guys!

There is a product specifically made for polishing chrome that sells in the Autoshops if you are particular, but normally, car polish does the job...

I thought that is for real metal chrome. The Euro's chrome is just a thin layer of metal chrome over plastic.

BTW, saw a silver Euro with plates ARE-XXP on Paramatta Rd. when I was sending my car for its 1000km service. Was that one of you?

I just clean the chrome bits with a chamois when I wash the car?
