Message	My first car in highschool!! Had the rims, bowtie exhaust tips, valve covers and whatever else I could chrome dipped. I even prepped them before hand to ensure. Inevitably, Illionis winters took there toll and within a year I had sheets/chunks of chrome plating coming off everytime I applied water or air in the general direction of the car. Sigh...
