Scuffing Chrome Bumpers?

From what I have seen, a Scotch-Brite pad is what most people use to do this. (I saw Chip Foose do it on Overhaulin'.) Use as fine a pad as you can find to do it. You can always go heavier on the grit if needed, but once you do, it's hard to go backwards without some major elbow grease.
