A tip passed on to me by someone who got it from a tech at a bicycle shop. Crumple a sheet of aluminum foil so the dull side is on the outside of the ball. Dip in water and work on the rust spot areas. There's a chemical reaction between the water, aluminum & rust. Sometimes, it's all you need. Others, maybe a good first step.

Will be giving that a try soon.

Chrome is usually done by plating copper, then nickel then chrome. If you're getting pitting, i.e. rust, i.e. iron oxide, it has to be from the steel below. When that happens, there's no more chrome on that spot and the steel is exposed. You can polish until the steel is as shiny as the chrome and will look nice (for a bit) but its still exposed steel and has none of the corrosion resistant properties of the chrome plate. It will start rust there again quickly. You could possibly clear coat to get a bit of protection, but the only way to properly fix it is re-plate it

Agreed. There are of course different levels of hard chrome plantings that can be applied to steels. And Nickel?? Oh God let something get under that and its DONE. I don't work on vehicles but I have worked on other steel objects with plating. If moisture gets trapped in active rust under plating by a wax, it just accelerates the process. Red rust is destructive. Black Iron oxide (mill scale) is stable, but both of them can trap moisture. You have to get the rust off and start over if a finish is not properly protected. I understand what the presenter is doing here tho, and I plan to use this process on polished high carbon steel. There is a product called EEZOX , a polymerizing CLP that is excellent at keeping steel looking new, but I don't use that on anything plated

No product exists that can 100% restore where rust has pushed through the chrome, because the chrome is actually gone in those spots. You can rub down past the chrome into the original metal beneath the chrome, but it's no longer chrome. So if this is as far as you're going to go without a full re-chrome, you'll have to seal it with something to keep the rust from coming right back. Oh, and those aren't "patina pits"; it's where the rust popped the chrome.

I'll have to check that stuff out. Thanks for the tip.

I restored a 1976 750 Honda Four a few years ago that had 4 chrome exhausts that looked like yours. The stuff that worked best was bronze wool. Removes rust but does not scratch the chrome. Finish with a good polish like Mothers.

I swear I glanced at this and I thought it said how to polish russet potatoes 🤣

I removed all of the surface rust from a 1976 Schwinn shifter stingray I won at an auction for $80, a day of aluminum foil and water made it look new. I sold it a week later for $650. There’s no scratches at all because the aluminum is softer than the chrome, if your leary about it like I was try it on an old bumper or bike like I did. Just dip the foil in water and start scrubbing.

@SKITT L3Z Water and foil and rub away,it's instant. Some use Coca Cola or Red Bull instead of water for the extra cleaning power but it's messy/sticky! Water is simple and clean so you will polish one thing and then start looking in the shed for something else to polish. It's sorcery!

Thank you....before viewing this video, I was searching DYI chrome plating lol....I just ordered all of the products you mentioned.
