If laquered then I would treat like any normal paintwork as it is the laquer that is being polished and not the chrome.
On chrome if it is starting to tarnish then Solvol Autosol or even Silvo are good for geeting the clean. Even coca cola will clean chrome ready for polishing.

I found some random old metal polish from John Lewis in the house - worked quite well but proper mission to apply and buff.
Really? I've always heard v good reports about Autosol.gooner1 wrote:Have used Autosol on various cars, but just recently i,ve changed to the Meguiars stuff, different class imo.hennabm wrote:If laquered then I would treat like any normal paintwork as it is the laquer that is being polished and not the chrome.

I think Practical Classics mag ran a test on these products some time ago and Autsol was one of the best.
