Restoring chrome look to oxidized chrome

Hello, my name is Jerry. How would you go about restoring a chrome look to oxidized chrome which has a dull alloy look to it?

Chrome doesn't oxidize under ordinary circumstances. You may have something which is nickel plated, or was nickel/chrome and the chrome has worn away, or was never chrome plated in the first place. Try any metal polish from a car parts store. If that doesn't work, you'll need to have it replated.
