Me too and it shines great! Maybe it's because I don't let mine stay dirty long enough to get tarnished...? But I'll have to give it a try.

I got chrome on my F-Juan50 in what I consider moderation. I love the way it looks. And it goes great with the tan paint.

Offroaders like big black monsters and On-Roaders like shiny clean babe haulers. I'm a babe hauler.

I use my Wizards brand metal polish every other month or so. On aluminum, chrome, and even.my stainless step bars. They need a little extra every now and then.

I like chrome...

Chrome is good but can be over done real easy. Like those chrome full mirror covers or crome door handles/bezels.... looks like a Walmart upgrade....

If its held on with tape... just walk away..

I would lose the chrome gas cap.And personally im not a big fan of the door handles but they fit well on black trucks.as far as everything else goes it is beautiful.

Ive always thought those chrome fuel doors stick out like a Big Zit on the Prom Queen.

They do work on some cars but I dont like em when they are on a vertical surface.
