Crumple up some tin foil and rub it over the chrome.

use oxlic acid. you can get it off ebay. Takes a cup to 5 gallon of water. Use hot water and the acid. Let it soak about 14 hours and when you remove it, rinse it off good and polish it.

If you want to try just enough to do the latchs, i think i can send you some if you want.

Try the foil dipped in Coca Cola, (dont know about Pepsi). The cola has some phosphoric acid in it similar to Naval Jelly. Let us know how bad it was to start with, and how it turned out, thanks.

I've used aluminum foil and doused in vinegar.This doesn't replace the chrome but cleans up the rust well.
