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? |

In my case, I used Harbor Freight Tools chrome "HVAC" duct tape. Front and back buckets / The same product is available at Home Depot etc. and has returned the interior of each fixture to a very bright reflective surface and is Windex-wipe-cleanable, desert heat doable, and down right seeable.
At the time, I replaced the seals with 914 Rubber seals and have never opened them up again in three years of almost daily driving. Sidebar: As I was driving home at dusk yesterday along PCH a blue 914-4 passed me up on the #3 lane in Newport Beach headed south then up Newport Coast road. By the time he was 500 feet ahead of me, his rear panel was but a squint-inkling of candle power light. That car needs a bucket-job and thy right soon!
