chrome front bumper pitting

The front bumper on my 78 f250 is just beginning to pit with small streaks of rust forming. The bumper is in otherwise excellent shape. What can I do to clean it up and seal it,

Turtle Wax used to make a decent chrome polish that would remove rust stains fairly well, but I haven't seen it on the shelves up here in a year or two.

Your next best option would be to use some white polishing compound to remove the stains, followed by a decent 'high-end' wax.
