Guest imported_Fiesta Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I am restoring an Oldsmobile and I just had the bumpers re-chromed. I still have a long way to go until I finish the car, so I wonder if there is any kind of oil or lubricant to protect the chrome while it sits on the shelf.Thanks,Alex.

rocketraider Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 The owner's manuals used to recommend wiping them down with a 50/50 mixture of kerosene and motor oil. I don't see why that wouldn't work today. A good coat of pure wax would work too. Wrap them in some bubble wrap topped by heavy kraft paper and that should protect them against scratches while in storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
