SOS pad for chrome followed by a complete washing with hot soap and water, wipe down completely and spray with WD 40 unless you are going to polish the chrome. Oh yeah if you have an air compressor blow em off after the hot soap and water routine. Never had a problem yet with this routine. YRMV but I love WD 40 or LPS or the like because it displaces water. If there is any pitting then the chrome is gone and there has to be something to protect the bare steel that remains thats why the polish is so important to protect the surface. I have never used the brass wool but I might try it. I like the SOS cause its got soap in it which give a bit of lubrication to the whole process and I'm lazy. Thanks for the hot tip on the brass wool
