I have Chrome steel bumpers on my truck, they look decent but I think they could look alot better. I've tried mothers chrome polish but it doesn't seem to be any different then a good sealant. Can I use my PC on them with a mild polish to really bring out the shine or will the comprimise the chrome coating? these are Steel not plastic so I would think they can take a little more abuse.

You can try chrome wheel cleaner to acid clean the surface (apply to a disposable shop towel, wear gloves and be very careful), and then polish it again, with more chrome polish. Mother's makes the powercone which can be useful for polishing with an electric drill.



I wouldn't use anything but chrome polish on it.
 
The front bumper on my suburban needs some serious attention. I am experimenting with some things now and i will let you know if i find anything that works well. IME chrome is very robust so i am not going to be shy with a polisher or chemicals.
 
Try some #000 steelwool on them. And then polish them with any chrome polish. They will come out great. I have chrome steel wheels on my truck, and that is how I clean them some times and they come out fine
