There has been a metal polish around for 40 years. Some of you may have heard about it. It's called Noxon. The cost is about $5 and can be found at Ace hardware and other hardware stores. Just google it if it's not available in your area. It's the only metal polish I use to shine up chrome. Use a small sponge, applicator or even a cloth. Be sure to wear rubber gloves. Doesn't take much effort, just shake the bottle then apply to area in a swirling motion. Avoid getting it on the paint. Some elbow grease may be required for caked on grease, but it will come out. Here are some before and after pictures.
Thanks, bought some yesterday and used it on the inside (black caked on soot) and outside chrome on my tips. It does take quite a bit of elbow grease to get the soot off, but looks great when you are done! I'll post pictures if anyone cares. Thanks again and appreciate the tip.
