I accidentally used some chrome polish on my car, not realizing it
wasn't regular car polish. Can this do anything to the car's paint or
is it harmless? Thanks.

Re: chrome polish



Chrome is very hard. Paint isn't. At worst it'll leave coarse marks that
need polishing out with paint polish.

Almost certainly harmless. Unless it contains a solvent which could attack
the paint - very unlikely.

There's a lot of misinformation around about polishes. If it's a type
designed to abrade off dull paint - like T-Cut, etc -  a metal polish will
often work just as well without the inflated price.

Re: chrome polish


Well I'm not sure what they sell in England, but over here a popular
chrome polish is Mother's brand which is the one I used. Do you know
if that would contain any solvents to attack paint? I'm not aware of
any if there are. I did get the car washed right after I realized I
had been using chrome polish on the paint so I don't think it had much
of a chance to set in.

Thanks in advance.
