Default Use Never Dull

Just use NEVER Dull it is awesome, available in a little can at most auto parts stores and I think Wally World. Just rub the cotton batting and then a paper towel. I used it to clean up my old chrome wheels after the winter salt tore them up.

I was going to say drill bits are off the shelf, but rustoleum works, too

If you have a 5TH wheel truck stop near by, stop in and grap a bottle of Wicked Products Truck Polish. I bought a bottle about 2 years ago and polished the aluminum and chrome on my rig (fuel tanks, mirrors, exhaust, bud wheels, bumpers) 3 times since then and I still have half a bottle left. This stuff goes a LONG way and I can promise you, you'll never want to try anything ever again. Rust just buffs right out and your left with a mirror finish that just repels water like waxing a car. My brother in law had a chrome plated license plate frame which was destroyed from the salt on the roads during the winter months. This stuff brought back that mirror finish and it looked better than when he originally bought it.

Check it out, it's not expensive and seriously works miracles.
