Care of Chrome Parts

4900 dm 20.02.000

To prevent rust, keep chrome parts clean and protected at all times. This is especially important during winter driving and in coastal areas where there is exposure to salt air.

When cleaning chrome, use clean water and a soft cloth or sponge. A mild detergent may also be used.

Sponge gently, then rinse. If necessary, use a non-abrasive chrome cleaner to remove stubborn rust or other material. Do not use steel wool.

To help protect chrome after cleaning, apply a coat of polishing wax to the surface. Never use wax on components that are exposed to high heat, such as exhaust pipes.
