[QUOTE="69ST, post: 189093, member: 5"] That's good machine rubbing compound, contains a diminishing abrasive. Probably just needs to be shaken well. It's great for polishing paint, I'd not use it on chrome, it'll likely leave scratches, or a haze that won't go away. Naval jelly is just a thickened mixture containing phosphoric acid. It should work. Results depend upon how extensive the rust is. Once there is visible rust on a chrome plate part, the plating has been eroded all the way through to the base steel. It's never going to be quite right again, unless you have the part rechromed. That said, if the pits are small enough and the plating isn't missing or blistered it may be possible to make the part look decent. Keep it well waxed afterward, to seal-out moisture. [/QUOTE]
