So I recently picked up a MP megatron from Xjunky, and the figure was cherry except for the rust on his chrome feet. Well at 2am last night I couldn't sleep and was going through my carcare stuff to try and make some room and saw an old friend... This stuff could be sold as a nose hair remover as it has a smell that borderlines as an acid burn. Anyway this stuff in small dabs can clean almost any chrome, and as you can see will clean MP megs feet to their previous shoe shiny chromy glory. Here's a before and after ( just the front of his feet, left to you has had it applied, the right isn't) After both feet fronts were done, and now the side by side. the left foot side has been done, the right foot hasn't. I"m still cleaning these right now ( going to buy some makeup sponges to clean the nooks and crannies) but use microfiber when cleaning it off as you don't want to leave scratches on the chrome. Also, I have removed the feet from him to finish it, you may not want this stuff hitting painted plastic.
Back when this problem first came up, several people had success using turtle wax to clean up Megs work. Personally I think it was an intentional reference to the episode "Cosmic Rust"

I had to look it up. if you get the chrome cleaner/polish, it should technically work. just buff lightly.
