Before and after of rusted chrome

My wife dragged this home and asked me to clean it up. I used Brillo cameo I can’t believe the difference.

I see the label refers to it as a "cleaner". I wonder what it might look like if you took a "polish" (like Brasso) to it?

I wonder if it might look even better?

Never heard of Brasso I might give it a try, although this looks pretty good to me

This will not last, since the chrome plating has broken down. It is possible to polish the underlying bare steel until it looks like chrome. However, it will rust again almost immediately.

In the steam locomotive era, many locomotives had connecting rods to the drive wheels made of bare cast iron. The railroad had someone polish them frequently to keep them shiny.
