Default Prodrive strut brace

I have one of these



Obviously this isn't mine as it's clean, but it's too dark to get any good pictures.
Anyway, mine has started to darken and pit slightly, and I was wondering what's the best way to bring it back to its finest. I have searched online, but it seems they're quite rare. I've read that coke and tinfoil is good for chrome so might be worth a shot. Any ideas?

Not really.

The beauty of the twins is they both work together. The first one cuts then the second one refines, much like machine polishing paintwork.

Tim @ Envy Valeting sells them. Tell him Boyd sent you
