Now...what do you folks use to get into tight corners? Looking for tools/cleaning solution ideas. everything so far was done with a soft wire brush on a 4.5" angle grinder.

I would use one of these with a surface conditioning belt just because I have a couple of them. There are definitely cheaper options.

Maybe a strip of surface conditioning material if you have easy access to the back side to pass it through and pull it back and forth.

I also think I have some of these laying around if you want me to send you one.

Using wire wheels and abrasive belts have probably removed any chrome that was on there...I'd use something like Evaporust or one of the home brew methods for removing rust like a molasses bath.

Aluminum foil and water or vinegar.

Don't laugh it works great and will get all those hard to reach places.

That's probably not chrome. Well, technically, I suppose it may be a certain percentage chrome, but not "chrome" in the automotive sense of the word. That's probably stainless steel.
