A quick description, what you used it on, a link to the manufacture would be good and any photos that show before and after would be cool.

Tell me about it...
Last weekend, I used Meguiars, Brasso, and some other stuff - an hour or so later, a small improvement...
ah well, looks like I'll have to pop along to MIJ for a brand new shiny one...and then I'll have 4 of the buggers to polish!

The chrome strips are coated in some form of plastics; I have used Klasse AIO in the past with some noticeable improvement
