Default Sugar cube works
Hi,

Just wanted to share something I was told awhile back.....use sugar cube to clean up / polish (interior) chomed surfaces.

Just spit (or otherwise moisten) on the sugar cube and rub up.

Before:


After:

Yes, it's the abrasive. It's rough enough to clean the surface well, but soft enough not to scratch the finish.

Naturally, you need to wipe the the sugar residue off w/ a damp cloth.

cheers,

So, I'm going to guess that you don't want to do this with plastic chromed parts.
