Wipe down the chrome
The first part of polishing a car involves wiping it down with the use of a wet soapy rag. The entirety of the chrome should be wiped down, and all of the dirty areas should be carefully scrubbed. The soapy water should then be wiped away in order to get rid of hard water spots, which are one of the hardest items to remove from chrome.
Keep check of the progress
During the cleaning and polishing process, it is wise to keep track of the cleaning process. Working from one end of the car to the other will help you to avoid missing a spot. Thinking for a minute before starting the cleaning process will help you to come up with a plan to clean the car, which will help you to avoid accidently forgetting to clean and polish one part of the car.
Apply chrome polish
With the car wiped down, the car can now be polished. The kind of polish that is used on the car is exceptionally important. Doing some research to find the best polish will go a very long ways towards being able to pick out the best brand. There are different kinds of polish that can give different kinds of glosses, and there are even kinds of polish that are able to do things like resist rain and last long. There are even kinds of polish that are designed to hide any small scratched on the chrome.
The polish should be applied with the softest rag possible. Rubbing in a circular motion will help to cover the area evenly, and moving the rag across the sides of the chrome will help for the sides of the chrome to be polished. Polishing the sides of the chrome is a very important part of making the chrome look nice, and it is one of the major things that discerning eyes look for in a well-polished car.
The chrome should be polished until all of the polish is wiped down into the chrome. If too much chrome is used, then it can be scraped away with the use of a second rag. The extra polish can be pushed around in order to cover extra parts of the car with polish in order to make the car look a little bit extra polished. Once, the polish is rubbed in it should be wiped away with a clean rag.
