Before I do anything that might damage them, how do I clean the chrome on the inside of the front turn signals and also the rear tail lights?
I was going to use dish soap and water, but thought I might ask if there was a better way. They are dirty and there are a few spots where the chrome is bubbling/chipping, but it's not bad. Can I polish them with anything? |

For the front buckets i had to do a lot of work.
1 thoroughly cleaned. 2 medium to fine sanding 3 i used a coarse paste on a small (dremmel) polushing pad. 4 i finished them with a fine paste and a large domed polishing pad on a slow speed drill. They came up very nice. M My rears were so worn and previously painted that i had to use a chrome reflective vynil to recover the inside reflector wells. |
