For all you dudes and dudettes who have surface rust on your chrome bumpers or whatever, have you considered using just water and tin foil?
That's right. Our bathroom light fixtures have started to show some surface rust on the chromed base unit due to the typical condensation that develops due to showering, etc. So the trophy wife decides to go online and see what it would take to make these fixtures look a little better instead of just replacing them. She found some youtube video that said all you do is crumple up some tin foil under some cold water and then start scrubbing away at the rusty areas.
No way did I believe this nonsence but since I've been taught the golden rule of SWMBO :wor all I could do is give it a try.
Here's a pic of one of the fixtures showing before on the left side and afterwards on the right. Don't know how long this will last but it sure is much better than before and only cost me a couple hours per fixture. Since the foil was probably something like a brillo pad, I'm going to clear coat these pieces just to give it some protection.
