Try Never Dull. You'll have to apply by hand and rub the tarnish and rust out, then take an old buffer pad and buff it out till she shines like new.

We've used simple green and a hard bristle brush.

Greetings Brother, try some of that " CHIEF'S DIAMOND PLATE AND CHROME CLEANER" it works great. All the other methods mentioned are tried and true and work exceptionaly well. But I must admit after using chiefs products I have come to depend on it for that parade looking finish.

Good Luck,
BB.
