I washed down a rather dirty Bentley R type a few days ago, It is stored in a reasonably well ventilated barn style garage, but with slatted doors, the idea being to circulate air but it allows dust and the debris and air born sap from evergreen trees to find its way in.
The Chrome on the front of the car furthest from the doors was heavily tarnished and took a fair bit of effort to look nice, the stainless steel bumpers just needed washing and came up bright and smart.
Rolls Royce used stainless steel on the window surrounds and other trim on my 1960 S2 Bentley they are near perfect and have a good shine with just a wipe over, if you look at an S2 you will see the advantage of stainless steel over chrome.
Geoff.
