Chrome polishing?

[triangleforge]

Came home this morning from the ReStore (Habitat for Humanity's local thrift shop  ) with a find that's going to make its way into AM's Christmas present -- a 1960s Alfa Romeo front bumper. OK, so we've got a kind of eclectic decorating style...

The part itself is in great shape, but needs some real love to shine the way it ought to. Mostly it's dirty, but there's also a fair amount of very fine, red overspray on it.  What recommendations have you got for products and techniques to make it pretty again?

Depending on the overspray, lacquer thinner may wash it off.

Mothers chrome polish, or similar, should clean it up either way, but it would mean more elbow grease.

+1 to Mother's.

That shit rocks.

Haggerty's makes a silver polish, not sure if they make a chrome, but if they do, you can't go wrong there.

Sometimes a plastic scraper can help pop overs spray off fairly easily (in some cases) might be worth a shot.

Very fine (000) steel wool works wonders on chrome.

Even if the chrome is old and thin and has the tiniest rust pinholes. I've prettied up many old bumpers and made them presentable over the years with it rather than re-chroming.

Finish the deed with a good chrome polish like Mothers.

+1.

It's mostly elbow grease. Do it in front of the tv.

People BUY chrome?!?!   

My first moto...all chrome.  Cleaned it once and said that was ENOUGH of this chromey stuff.  Buh-bye.
