Try a speed shop or auto parts store. It is commonly used to polish chrome
(or alloy) wheels. Another good alternative is "Mother's Polish", also sold
in auto parts stores. Be careful with either, they are a bit on the
abrasive side. Classic, they company that makes Classic Car Wax also has
some liquid polishes that are excellent. One is intended for use on
plexiglas and is less abrasive than the chrome polishes.

Lelia,

Steve Roberts in Los Angeles put me onto Happich Simichrome (I think it's
spelled with an "i") polish when he used it to "rescue" the severely
tarnished
bell ring on my 30 year old Noblet C clarinet. I've tried all over the Los
Angeles area and no one seems to know what I'm talking about including
hardware stores, metal refinishers, etc. He found his tube of Happich at a
local supermarket. Any help you could furnish would be greatly appreciated.
I've got lots of polishing to do on two bass clarinets and a Leblanc low C
paperclip contrabass.

Thanks!

Don Gross
La Canada, California
