We used Never dull in the Navy for polishing the brass on the hand lines on the deck edge. So much faster and nicer than plain old polish. But someone had to buy it because Uncle Sam never gave it to us.

Later!

here you go John... the one with the outline is the left side and that is all that shows from the front of the grill... the others are the right side and the back

Thank you john, I hope you didn't pull the grille off to get the backside pics. I tried to give you some reps but the site said I have to spread my love around before I can give you any.

It’s a common problem but the nature of the process is that chrome won’t flow to an interior or concave surface very well so the area you are trying to polish is very thin and the copper or zinc coating under it is showing through. Think about a baby moon hubcap for an example.The front will chrome nicely the back not so.
