How to Clean Pitting on Chrome

The chrome on your motorcycle, bicycle or automobile wheels stands up to a beating, but without proper nurturing it may develop pitting where the chrome plating is damaged or destroyed. Some of these marks will come off with elbow grease. Metal polish will remove light to moderate pitting while protecting the rest of the chrome from damage.
