always use paste wax on your chrome after you polish it, keeps it nice for a very long time my harley used to set out side, I would take some of it apart and polish the chrome and wax once a year , If I didn't wax it I would do it every 6 month
Great advice. Thank you. However that bumper is a knock out. I really do miss these things from the past. Well what I really mean is, progress to most people is plastic and EV's. I'm no longer interested in what people say today but what the might have to say in the future. I also keep that Mothers Mag polis in my workshop. It is also very usefull on plastic headlights.
I totally agree, not a fan of new design or EV, thats why my AC Designs Garage tshirts say on the back "Death Before Electric " hahahah, thanks for watching 👍
I have used that 0000 steel wool for 40 years and it works best when you put Turtle Wax Chrome polish on the steel wool. it minimizes scratching, removes rust faster and leaves a nice shine. Don't try this on a nice or descent chrome it WILL scratch the heck out of the surface with fine thin scratches. Some people say it don't but to the trained eye or next to nice chrome it's very noticeable or looking at the reflection you'll see the scratches.
Caught ur title 2 as I'm always open 2 others' suggestions. On par with what I normally do but I would like to provide one suggestion that you should try for yourself. I use distilled water (minimizes mineral content in the water + still cheap) as well as dawn platinum (any dawn will do) dish soap mixed in with it as it has cleaning abilities as well as in this instance little bit of lubrication in the process. Supporting Example: Think of a slip and slide rite. You can go down it pretty nicely with water. But u can often get scratched up or feel friction on yuh. But you add soap onto the slide. Voof, far faster and less harsh. Granted, yes, I know u want abrasiveness. However, when using the soapy water + 0000 steel wool on my windows as well as chrome. It saved the risk of any deep scratches and aids the removal of the iron and other oxides that are there. Just a suggestion.
@ACDesignsGarage Absolutely. Vids help my adhd while I'm working on things. Lol Currently, I'm now painting the corroseal primered areas of both my Fiesta front hub assemblies as well as the calipers. Much needed love as our Fam mechanic never mentioned how bad it was. Suppose that is another good reason why DIY saves money. Hehe
Keep doing that with Steel Wool and I'd imagine you won't have much chrome left in a short period of time. You want something softer than the chrome. Such as brass. Tin foil and water works on most rusted chrome.
My first car 66 VW beetle, I have had at least one VW for the last 50 years. I moved from Florida to Ohio because the 6V wouldn't pass inspection, and I wasn't going to give it up.
Great information. I need not to be lazy & do this on my Morris Minor. Not wishing to offend you Uncle Sam but sound like Gomer Pile (Jim Neighbours) from 'Andy Griffith Show'
See my classic 1964 Morris Minor (termed as the British VW Beetle) is not garaged. With the UK climate they rust like it is going out if fashion. So I need to clean these up & put them in the loft & only put them on when I have a car rally.
Love this video! Thanks so much for the detailed information! You inspired me to get busy on my Ghia..,please keep these videos coming! I appreciate you
@@ACDesignsGarage ----------- It's a mystery. -Quick Glo has disappeared. No one can contact the owner's that made a famous ad with Jay Leno. Inventories have disappeared in the U.S. ,U.K. and Australia. Does anyone know for sure what is happening? I ordered a large supply months ago from their Website which is still running. I rec'd nothing not even an email confirming my order. Quick-glo is the best for chrome and rust and as a preventative. If you know what has happened; please please report on your findings.
@@ACDesignsGarage I went and bought the same exact steel wool pad and found another product you would probably find cool as well. It's a Rust-Oleum spray gel rust dissolve. I'm going to try that instead of the water or vinegar and see how it works. I think it will work great for getting into little nooks and crannies, I'm also going to soak down the frame and underbody and scrape off any rust I can find before doing an undercoat to protect the other side of the car.
Just discovered a Jaguar 420G with my friend that’s been sitting for years at his place. We wanna restore it and chrome bumper rust is a bit of an issue. Thanks!
i used these wools and this rust remover cream i bought at this hardware store for some 144 spoke lowrider wheels and everyone thought i bought new wheels 😂 that stuff worked amazing !
the only negative is that it's not as good as stripping back to bare metal and rechroming. BUT if you know you're not going to do that, then it's great.
Try Coca-Cola instead of bottle water next time. Let that cola stand for a while. That stuff will melt all the rust! Then clean it with some alcohol or paint detergernent before waxing.
Thats what someone else said about them being aftermarket. As for the clear ive tried that but with no luck it kept on rusting, these have held up for a good while like they are now with wax!
I would ship all the parts off together to have them all chromed as a group later. I wouldn't buy reproduction parts. Reroduction parts are not as high quality. Sometimes they will send you plastic with painted chrome when buying new stuff so be careful.
I do not think this would work to remove greenish stain on motorcycle exhaust muffler. Also, wax applied to any "restored" exhaust muffler chrome will just burn off and the rust spots will come right back.
I mean I didn't harm it, The chrome it's gone, that's why it's rusted. Now if it was just dirty I wouldn't do that. When they rechrome, they strip it then grind and polish before chroming.

Awesome thank you!!! It works pretty well!!

Good video and thanks for the links to products you used
No problem Thank you for watching!!!!
Now that looks good.
Thank you, it works pretty good!!
i used these wools and this rust remover cream i bought at this hardware store for some 144 spoke lowrider wheels and everyone thought i bought new wheels 😂 that stuff worked amazing !
Awesome what kinda lowrider you got, I love some 64 impalas on 13 inch daytons
Awesome vid. You've done exactly what I had mentally prepared to do to restore my w113. There's no negatives to the steel wool right?
I had no issues with the 0000 steel wool, its still holding up, always try on a hidden place first to make sure.
the only negative is that it's not as good as stripping back to bare metal and rechroming. BUT if you know you're not going to do that, then it's great.
@@frankfisher8423 100% agree!!
That intro tho🤌🏾🤌🏾😂
Hahaha
gon try this on my 68' stang
Awesome I think it will work great!!!
what you thing about using vinegar instead of water? and finish it with clear coat instead of wax?
Ill have to try the vinegar, as for the clear, i have cleared over bare metal before but rust still comes back.
Try Coca-Cola instead of bottle water next time. Let that cola stand for a while. That stuff will melt all the rust!
Then clean it with some alcohol or paint detergernent before waxing.
Why Cola? Diet Cola might be even better. - It's the cheapest acid available.
Ill try that!!!!!
I was 1000th thumbs up. HELL YA!
Awesome Thank you!!!!
Thank you very much for your video! I have a 1970 with some rust in the bumper! Keep up the good work! From Seattle Washington! ✌️✌️
Awesome thanks for watching
Thanks for the video. It was a huge help
Awesome, thanks for watching!!!
The fast-forward scrubbing version is best. Did the rust ever come back?
Hahahaha it will eventually, if you put a good wax on it it will last longer. But as long as you dont let it get to bad it cleans up fast!!!!
Proof the movie Deliverence is real. Didn't understand a word he said.
Hope you have a Blessed day!!!!!
I understood everything he said
@@JIMIIXTLAN That is concerning.
The more u listen the more u catch the hang of these kinda of accents. I love it 😅😅😅
What accent?
The bumpers are probably not the originals.
Original bumpers did not have rubber on the end of the overriders.
Thats nice to know, the guy I bought it from said it was all OG, thanks for the tip!!!!
You don’t need new hubcaps. That scrubbing and waxing is plenty good enough.
I agree there still holding up pretty good!!
Big dawg ur gonna laugh but aluminum foil and soapy water and scrub shit comes off. I was sckeptical first.but works
Awesome I may have to try this, thanks!!!!
@@ACDesignsGarage it scratchy it to high hell
aftermarket bumpers, I wonder if clear coat would help ?
Thats what someone else said about them being aftermarket. As for the clear ive tried that but with no luck it kept on rusting, these have held up for a good while like they are now with wax!
How would I get rust off of the wheel wells? How to get in those wells?
Good god that’s lit
Excellent thanks for the information
Thank you very much!!!
Will this work for a 71 bumper also?
Sure, mine still looks good after several months!!!!
It's amazing how much rust Coca-Cola and some balled up aluminum foil will take off.
I need to try that!!!!!
Looks good ty for the info
Thank you and thanks for watching!!!
Great Trick! 👍
Thank you !!!!!!
Good video!
Thank you!!!!
Good work ----
Thank you
@@ACDesignsGarage la Wolkswagen nel video e' molto bella - Buona sera da Riccione (Italy) -
Try using apple cider vinegar with steel wheel.
Awesome thanks for the tip!!!!
Great video
Thank you!!!!!
You should of used the mother's and steel wool combined.
Ill have to try that!!
I would ship all the parts off together to have them all chromed as a group later. I wouldn't buy reproduction parts. Reroduction parts are not as high quality. Sometimes they will send you plastic with painted chrome when buying new stuff so be careful.
I agree, thats probably what ill do!!!
Why did you not use Chrome polish ?
I like to use the mothers polish, it seems to work a little better on bad tarnished items.
I do not think this would work to remove greenish stain on motorcycle exhaust muffler. Also, wax applied to any "restored" exhaust muffler chrome will just burn off and the rust spots will come right back.
Yeah this is just a temporary fix, your better off if you can get mufflers made from stainless and thell never rust.
Iron remover will help
Thanks for the tip!!!
Sweet
Thank you!!!!
Uou can remove the rust but if uou dont rechrome it it will rust very fast ...waste of time.
Its a quick fix mine has held up for 2 years now, but my car stays inside , but if you keep wax on it it last longer also
@@ACDesignsGarage I think it's a great quick fix, especially if you don't have tons of money to dump into rechroming!
Waste of Time, He is simply and harmfully remove the chrome coat. Send it out for Re-chrome. JMO
I mean I didn't harm it, The chrome it's gone, that's why it's rusted. Now if it was just dirty I wouldn't do that. When they rechrome, they strip it then grind and polish before chroming.
