No, nickle should be applied by electrolisis. Have you tried coke and aluminum foil yet?

Turtle Wax chrome polish has served me well over the years. Once you get it clean, keep a coat of wax on it and it will stay nice.

Steel wool works also.

Try Nevr-Dull. It's a cotton wadding that comes in a can. Just yank out a small piece and start rubbing. It's treated with some oily chemical, but the stuff works great for removing rust from chrome. It also leaves a residue behind that helps slow the rusting down. Once you clean the rust off, you can also wipe the area down with alcohol or prep-sol, then dab a little clear fingernail polish on the spots. It won't stop it, but it'll slow it down a bunch.

try...

If its just a little surface rust and not really bad, like little spots, use fine steel wool with wax or chrome polish on it. After rubbing (more rubbing, more fine scratches) buff off just like normal waxing.
