I've noticed on my XU-1 on the underside rear bumper drivers side that the chrome is getting tarnished from the exhaust gases. Now is there anything available to clean it off ?
Thanks.

Any good quality chrome polish should clean it up but if after cleaning the chrome has a goldish hue to it then the chrome is pitting and the nickel plate underneath is showing through.

I'll have a crack on the exhaust tips but not the bumper. Watch this space.
