Back to the ramps....

Soaked in Oxalic acid.  Cleaned up a little better, but still pretty much the same.  I think the ramp will need to be rechromed....

I'll wait to see how long the decal issue will be otherwise I will get them both redone to match nicely.

What's the rough cost on a re-chrome?

I usually use autosol to clean metal ramps, it can remove some oxidation but may not be much better than the auto polish you have already tried.

Cool, the gun handle on the Dirty Harry could do with a re-chrome one day.
