Have you tried CHEESE or a CHEESE based product?

'It's Megatron.'

Well there you go then, there's your answer. The question you have to ask yourself is this,...

"What would Megatron use to clean his chrome?"

Simple!

For the next few days "Megatron rubbing his chrome" will be my euphemism for strangling Kojak.

So, you regularly announce that you're off to 'burp the worm'?!

CB2K - try a damp cotton bud first. If it's superficial it may come off quite easily - but remember to dry thoroughly!

It's an old joke - one person was distinctly NOT amused by a similar suggestion (http://www.2000adonline.com/forum/index.php/topic,25714.0.html - very funny!) and from then on, cheese is always offeerd as a suggestion to just about any problem.

The eye socket of the nearest dead Autobot?

IIRC most likely Ironhide, Prowl and Rachet in Transformers: The Movie. 1985.

It's the lactic acid. Brings out a lovely shine.

Try those if that fails may I suggest a thin slice of Wensleydale (or if you have it a Harbourne Blue should provide optimum results) then gently buff in a sweeping motion one way only across the afflicted areas. This wont help but will take your mind off the corrosion for a moment or two.
