How do I remove the tarnish and buildup on the chrome dash parts of a classic car?
I recently bought a 1969 Plymouth Barracuda, and the chrome bezels and edgings on the dash are tarnished and covered with some sort of build-up. What is the best way to clean them up and polish them?

Try baking soda. I think it works to polish silver why not chrome?

Use a “Blitz Cloth”. They are gentle tarnish removing and buffing cloths you can get at jewelry stores, jewelry counters in department stores and bigger hardware stores like Ace Hardware. Army/Navy surplus stores have been known to carry them as well.

You can use a “oo” grade of steel wool with some baking soda paste (make that by adding some water slowly to some baking soda powder until it turns into a consistency of toothpaste) or get a can or bottle of “Metal and Chrome Cleaner and Polish” Put it on let, it sit a little while to penetrate the dirty then, start elbowing it back to clean. On the dash chrome use a “hard” bristle toobrush or other cleaner brush so you don’t ruin the panel thats upholstered.
By the way, the ’69 Cuda is one of my favorite cars.

do not use steal wool. go to your local parts store and pick up some eagleOne crome polish. it comes in a small tin can. its a cotton like cloth

extra-super-duper-fine steel wool works great!
