You will need--
-Grade 0000 steel wool, Its really fine grade.
-Any type of liquid polish, I used mothers.
-Any type of carnauba wax, I used mothers.

Use the steel wool and polish together easily and get harder if you need too and try it on a small area. If you like what your seeing keep on going After your done just wipe polish on let dry and wipe off then wipe on the wax let dry then wipe off.

If you dont have rust just wax them and your good.

See wax is what keeps chrome from rusting/pitting! If you have anything on your truck chrome, wax it with any car wax and it will pro long the life of your chrome
I drove 2 winters with chrome winters and not one pit or rust spot. I sanded and painted the back of my wheels black too

That truck looks awesome. Very nice job on it man. Tell him to paint that OEM grill black and yeah removal of the chrome handles would look a little better, overall great truck

what's up with the flares? they don't look like the regular textured flares, and they don't look like the PTM lariats? are they a DIY sand and spray job?
