Also have a product called calgonate on hand as a further precaution. Calgonate is a cream that can neutralize both hydrofluoric acid and ammonium biflouride another compound called safe hydrofluoric acid (still dangerous) handled responsibly it is the easiest way to clean and remove rust from chrome.

    Honestly, to me, it’s always depended on the type of chrome, the depth of the rust, etc. No one method for everything chrome or everything rusty, I try different methods on everything and see what works the best. I’ve seen chrome polish down to the nickel/copper showing through with even mild polishing when it’s cheap, especially aftermarket wheels chromed over aluminum. Too many factors for a one-size-fits-all approach.
