Well hello, Saw this tip on the samba forums, cleaning chrome with coke and aluminium Foil, bs I thought , well it works, very well. At $1.50 for a bottle its a cheap cleaner 😀
Before and After
simply pour a small amount of coke, use the foil to clean the chrome, leave it to dry a little and clean with a cloth,

great tip sky i asume that you scrub with the alfoil 🙂
I was also wondering whether you scrunch up the foil or use it flat?

Try Vanilla Coke, you wouldn't want to drink it anyway :P
hihi, some people think soda water does the same thing, might give it a go as it wouldn't leave it sticky. yeah just use the foil to scrub.
Back in the 60s, I can remember people using coke in the washing machine to wash greasy overalls...
I wonder if they ever had ants in the washing machine??
With Chrome, I still prefer the old way, a good bottle of turtle wax or any wax will do... and cutting compound No1 is good if there are any rusty marks on it.. and the wax protects the chrome, even Brazillian chrome [so long as You apply it each day before breakfast...] and no ants either...
