Is it OK to put some car wax on my (chrome?) bathroom fixtures?

Question

I was told that you do that to protect them and keep them shiny. What other products I can use for that?

Do you mean just cover it with a hard hold hairspray and nothing else? or wax after that?

Answer 1

car wax is fine to put on bathroom fixtures. It works great on appliances as well.

Answer 2

read the labels some waxes have a rubbing compound that will drop the chrome finish avoid the ones that say no glass or chrome its on the label heres a clue wipe the chrome with ammonia dry then spray it with clear polyurethane satin and do it twice an hour apart then wax that maybe five hours later then the wax is on the poly and the finish is coated really well or wipe and spray with hard to hold dollar a can hair spray its clear laquer and drys fast two coats your done catch drips with a cardboard ,, an olde house painter

Answer 3

As the previous person stated, it works excellent on shower walls as well. It takes a while to put it on, take it off and shine it. But it is SO worth the effort. And yes, it will make your chrome shiney as well. However, windex does the trick also, but doesn't have the "water resistance" power that wax does.

Answer 4

Any wax that is made for wet surfaces will work. Unless you use an abrasive cleaner, chrome will not just deteriorate. Wax does put on a coating that repels water unlike polishes that just clean and shine.

Answer 5

car wax is fine. In fact, some people apply the car wax to the tile walls in the bath to keep water from sticking on it.

there is a product called rain-x, and it would work good too.

Answer 6

Someone once told me to put car wax on my bathroom mirror and it would not fog up...you could try a little bit at a time to see what happens, hopefully it won't mess it up.
