I have done this on the bumpers on my 74 Duster360, and it takes everything off the chrome but the shine !!!

I do have access to commercial chrome brightener, I will try that next. The acid your talking about is for aluminum only, it's not for chrome. I use the acid too on certain finishes, NOT polished finishes.
