how to not scratch
So bought old house with old stuff. Some I try to fix myself. What are the tricks for unscrewing old, stuck chrome parts without scratching, parts that come in all shapes and sizes? Thanks.

I'm assuming you're talking about faucets and things on the outside, so I moved your post. If you're actually talking about pipes, I'll move it back.

Is a general query about unscrewing chrome parts. But right now is a hub on a Moen Monticello centerset bathroom faucet. Need to remove it. Is round. Can't remove with fingers so need a wrench but that would surely scratch it. So how to wrench it off without scratches. Thank you.

Ya, a rag wrapped around the item before attaching the wrench/pliers is the way to go. Be sure the rag is thick enough so the tool doesn't bite thru it.
