Default Re: Weathering a New Radiator cap?

I have used steel wool on "too shiny" chrome. It will polish dull chrome and dullen shiny chrome. Works for me. My A was in a building that had a fire, the chrome turned a smoky almost brasslike color. Steel wool cleaned it up nicely. I put a new Quail on too and it looked too new, so I dulled it with steel wool.
