Does anyone Chrome their windshield wipers?

How much aluminum foil and salt do I use?

2 tablespoons of salt for every 16 ounces of water and a half a yard of aluminum foil. Baking soda added to the mix helps as well for stubborn stains and marks.

There are many videos on youtube about this subject by the way.

I would suggest that you bring tap water to boil, lets say a liter, put two tablespoons of salt, crumble up a piece of aluminum kitchen foil and dip your wiper arms one at a time. Leave for a while, they should come out cleaner and shinier than before without having to scrub.

Is that some chemical reaction? Is it removing grime or adding aluminum??? Or is it changing the pH of the solution?

There is a chemical reaction that is generated once these three ingredients are combined. They do not harm the wiper arms, simply it brings out the shine in them.
