Well, now I am a believer in "Dawn" soap


I ahd read that soaking chrome parts in "Dawn" for hours will get most crud off.
I hadn't believed it too much, but my first attempt at cleaning some chrome proved it to me. I was able to clean about 6 of the 8 lugs I had thought were not salvageable.
And instead of needing 5 new bass lugs, I only need 2. And the Big R floor tom mounts are good now too.

I even had one with some kind of white substance on it --- almost like a coating of "Liquid Paper".
Dawn loosened it all up, and a toothbrush finished the cleaning for me.

Now, if I can just find a way to clean those dirty Big R thumb screws.

I have used Dawn in combination with BonAmi, which is a non-abrasive powdered cleaner. It makes nice paste that I applied on the chrome and let sit for awhile. Then I used a toothbrush and/or q-tip to scrub the tough spots. It worked like a charm.

This is a toughie. I swear by Blue Magic metal poilsh, but the plating on these is poor. Blue Magic brings them back a little, but it shines more like faded cadmium or zinc plating than anything else.
