Just got my bumpers back from the platers and want to know the best way to protect the new chrome. I have tried a search here, but no luck. I do seem to recall reading that a coating of good polish is best.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have never heard about painting the backs, but it sounds like a good idea. That part is hard to see and the paint should closely match the chrome that is there.

For paste wax: Is there a problem removing it later? Or is it best to just leave it on?

As far as the past wax I usually don't leave it on, I apply it let it dry and then buff it off. Many years ago My grandfather used to use Johnson's Paste FLOOR wax. That stuff was tough ! Worked great but had to get it off right away as it got hard. If your in storage there may be other options.
