Baby Oil to polish chrome? Can it be?

[Polak]

Found this insert on line... any comments?

"The April issue of Real Simple magazine (the dead tree edition) offers a reason to hold onto that old bottle of baby oil in the bathroom cabinet - for use as quick and easy chrome polish:

Apply a dab to a cotton cloth and use it to shine everything from faucets to hubcaps"

wouldn't that leave a slight film for dirt and dust to cling to?

Seems like it our bikes get dirty enough as it is. It may be the next big thing though.:down:

Well I did see a full chrome baby with sunglasses just the other day. The glare was so bright I couldn't tell what the mother looked like. But that baby was a shiny MOFUKER..I think I'LL stay with the polish, I'm sure someone has tried some WD snake oil 40 :lol: ...Dave.

I have heard of using baby oil to get things in an uncomfortable place and I dont mean the back seat of a Volkswagen.

I do know lots of people that use pledge though...
