    Bumperette drama

    I'm polishing up my bumperettes and one is coming up like a mirror and the other is just staying dull. I'm using autosol which normally works fine but not on this one. Can any one help.

    the chrome has gone off or been polished away...buy another bumperette..take autosol with you to polish it first..

    Thanks Ozbox I've been polishing the hell out of it and getting nowhere might have to just get them redone or get some reco ones. Any idea which would be cheaper?

    The headlight inserts are aluminium, autosol does a great job on them.
