Chromium plated door handles

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

We have had four new bloody expensive interior doors fitted. This was not my idea. Mrs Pounder Esq was already moaning about my dirty hand marks on the door handles, so I went to my only friend - Mr Google. I used "Simoniz Car Polish And Wax" on the handles. They are now gleaming. Then I tried it on the windows handles and the front and back door handles. After 7 years of being there they look like new. It would seem that chrome plated door handles do require some level of maintenance. I did not know this.

It's called cleaning. HTH.

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

It's called using the correct stuff to clean. You would not know this. HTH. Btw, how is life on your sink council estate?

[ARW]

It took you 7 years to work out that a door handle needed cleaning.

Need I say more?

[Brian-Gaff]

Don't start me off about chrome plated handles on things. I had a nasty sore on my hand when a sliver of the plating came of and went quite deeply into the palm of my left hand once. Not enough proper preparation of the material I suspect. Brian

I used to use furniture polish. You would not know what this is.

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

Yes, ARW is.

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

Why?

[Nightjar]

Simply that it is a very brittle material and easily flakes if the base metal flexes at all. Chrome slivers in the skin will almost invariably fester too.
