Chrome Restoration Tips?

Have a 1958 turntable with what I assume to be real chrome. It’s starting to corrode in a few spots (bubbling/flaking).

What are some good ways to restore it or atleast make it look better? Personal experience would be nice. I read aluminum foil is a good way to knock down the corrosion.

Thoughts?

Please post detailed photos. I can't picture what you're talking about.

Pics would help. Steel wool is good but won’t repair missing chrome. You have to strip it down entirely off you want it smooth. Then you can paint it or have it re plated. There are some awesome shiny metal looking spray cans out there.
