what is a good way to clean the chrome on the grill? its a stocker on my tahoe. does it have a clear coat or can i use mothers?

 

Don't think its cleared.

 

i used some neverdull from a friend and it just kinda smeared and would come off very well. worked great on the bumper but not the grill.

 

You can use a cleaner wax or a mild paint polish. Metal polish is fine too - you just don't need much product, but you do need to work it in a bit. I'm guessing the smearing is from using a little too much of the polish.

I prefer a mild paint polish since this stuff can be a little bit fragile...too aggressive and you can actually introduce scratches that won't come out.

 

i'll give it a whirl. i need to finish waxing the thing. i did borrow some plast-x stuff for polishing plastic and man does it work. the black things by the rear glass on my tahoe was fadded looking and i used that and they look lke i used tire polish crap on them. and the painted moldings on the sides. they have a chrome strip on them. is looks like it is cleared. is it? or is it just chrome? i've been working on the go so much i for got about the show lol. the whole tahoe needs a day of love.

 

I believe all the trim pieces that appear to be chrome-plated have the plastic "chrome" on them. The plastic polish, as you've discovered, is a fine option. Once they look as good as you want them, you can apply your favorite wax/sealant for protection.

 

i'll try that thanks.
