Hints from Matt

Shine your chrome with aluminum foil: "For sparkling chrome on your appliances, strollers, golf club shafts, and older car bumpers, crumple up a handful of aluminum foil with the shiny side out and apply some elbow grease. If you rub real hard, the foil will even remove rust spots. Note: Most "chrome" on new cars is actually plastic -- don't rub it with aluminum foil."

I think it was our friend Tyler who first brought this to our attention. Matt put it to good use for shining up the legs of a Barcelona chair when it arrived from my sister.

Matt very thoroughly shining one of the chrome legs.

The "apply some elbow grease" comment above is certainly true. The second chair is still wrapped in packaging awaiting his next burst of energy—which may take a while to arrive given his work schedule.

Matt enjoys the fruits of his labors.
