Here are some before and after pics:
It's gorgeous! Don't you just love getting that chrome to SHINE?
I love the transformation especially the handwheel. I would love to know how you were able to make the chrome look so nice. Does anyone know if you can over clean the chrome?

I used a product called "No. 7 Chrome & Metal Polish". I either picked it up at the local hardware store or at Walmart (I can't remember which). It worked the same as when I use Silver polish on my good silverware. I don't know if you can over clean the chrome or not. I cleaned and rubbed it until it was super shiny but the cloth was still getting tarnish off but I figured it looked good enough.
