I dont know much about chrome. I think once it starts to rust all you can really do is send it out to get re surfased and re chromed or sand it down and paint it.

Yeah, these bumpers on these trucks sure do like to form rust spots,

I use never-dull wadding polish and it takes it right off.

Once you get it cleaned up, give it a good coat of Turtle Wax. And wash it once in a while...

Do they make a wax specificly for chrome? I would think paint wax would turn out hazy on chrome

Just the hard shell paste wax for paint. Works great!
