          I'd use a dual action polisher. Much more efficient than by hand. Meguiars "hot rims" mag and aluminum polish would cut that down very quickly. The chrome polish usually only cleans up light oxidation. If can get your hands on 0000 steel wool, you can try that too. Do it in an inconspicuous area first to see if it will mar your surface. Be sure to have the surface squeaky clean first so you can reduce the risk of damaging the chrome further. The other OTC metal polishes blow.

              Seconded. I do not know what the fuck kind of magical shit they put in there, but it works 2x better than any other polish out there, and I've tried all of them.

                      This is what we used at MCRD ( Marine Corp Rec. Depot in San Diego) and it does work well but if you have a bunch of pitting this stuff will get caught in any little crack and then you'll have a hairy bumper

                          Fairmont bumpers are not chrome plated, they anodized aluminum. If you polish/sand through the anodizing, they will shine, but oxididize quickly.
