As a kid in the late 50s early 60s the dads in the neighborhood used Coke Acola and fine steel wool to polish the Chrome on there cars. The acid in the Coke was the answer!!

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them. :)
