Should have read that link before replying. I'm going to check out a bottle of that paint renovator for my old car next time I'm in Halfords. Not spotted it before but it does look a bit like T-Cut / Farecla from some YouTube videos.
I'd not recommend acetone on old paint. If you want to use a solvent base to clean off dirt then use brake cleaner (isopropanol) or WD40. I've also seen a lot of old chrome with scratchy swirly marks in the surface from using wire wool. I'd use scrunched up aluminium foil and WD40 over wire wool as it's softer but just as effective.
