Instructions say don't use metal polish on it, just soap and water and a good wax, which I've done.

I had one of those on my NA it didn’t last long before it started to corrode and looked awful. Changed back to the original. It’s still in my garage somewhere.

They do warn that it's chrome on polished alloy; assume as chrome is porous and water will get through and lift, it will deteriorate; so a good wax will help keep it waterproof. Same reason chrome on steel will rust through and lift unless properly plated with nickel prior to chroming.

Same as everybody else, they look good for a while but start pitting eventually. I had one for a while then put the original back on

Looks good. I do like them. However, don't forget to take the original when you have the car resprayed next year. That way if the chrome does go pointed lady bits up you have a shiny red one to put back.
