Easy way to remove rust from vehicle's chrome!!

Many of you have automobiles at your place..and automobiles these days have a bit of chrome present in it. That shiny looking metallic part of your vehicle is chrome plated element which adds to the beauty of your vehicle..But problem arises when the chrome part start getting rusty due to moisture in weather and dusty conditions...Below I mentioned an easy way to remove this rust from vehicle's chrome..



Chrome parts in automobiles



The easy way out of this:

If you are one of those who spent huge amount of money fixing the rusty chrome part of your vehicle or sometime getting it replaced then this post is very useful for you..
The Hero of this post is Aluminium Foil which can easily remove rust from your automobile.
A simple and inexpensive way to remove rust from and polish chrome surfaces by hand is to rub it with aluminum foil dipped in water. This process yields two advantages. First, since the aluminum foil is softer than steel, it will not scratch the surface. And second, a by product of the process produces a fine metal polishing compound that smooths the chrome surface to a bright shine.

What exactly happens:

Rust is basically oxidized metal, as heat is generated by the friction of rubbing the aluminum foil on the chrome, a portion of the aluminum will oxidize to produce aluminum oxide. Aluminum has a higher reduction potential (i.e a tendency take on electrons and in the process reduce or break itself down) than the chrome, and will therefore leech oxygen atoms away from any rust on the chrome surface which changes the chemical properties of the rust and breaks it down.
Also, Aluminum oxide is harder than steel, and the microscopic grains of aluminum oxide produced during the cleaning process creates a fine metal polishing compound which, mixed with the water you added, creates a paste that smooths and polishes the chrome surface.
