Chrome adds a shiny, attractive finish to vehicles and home furnishings. When left to the elements, however, chrome eventually accumulates water marks and rust spots that mar its appearance. Regular cleaning with non-abrasive products is necessary to remove these spots without scratching chrome’s soft surface. The citric acid in Coke will effectively clean chrome and remove rust.
