I want to buy something to clean/polish chrome towel rail radiators

Hi, can anyone recommend something that is good to clean or polish stainless steel/chrome towel rail radiators. recently moved house, and radiators are looking really dull. Tried Silvo, but no use - in fact probably made them worse. Appreciate any ideas!

    I just use my trusty microfibre cloths on mine. Fill the basin with warm water and a small amount of washing-up liquid. Wring out first cloth and wipe over. Buff up with a second dry cloth. Keeps mine looking new.

    Sounds like there has maybe been a build up of cleaning products which has dulled the surface so the first time may be a bit more labour intensive. You really shouldn't have to use a special product though.

    Try wiping them over with a little bit of oil - either baby oil or olive oil, and then buffing - should do the trick.
  • I use glass cleaner - ie Mr Muscle, Flash etc then buff to a shine with kitchen roll.

    Works a treat
