One thing to check is to make sure you have the POS on the anodes and the NEG on the part. If that is right they I would suggest to try this procedure.
Dont use laquer thinner. It still leaves a film on the part.
Degrease(remove buffing compound) with hot water and dish soap.
Rinse.well under hot water then cold
Clean in the SP cleaner or a alkaline cleaner.
Rinse well under hot then cold water.
Make sure the water sticks to the surface of the part and doesnt bead up and roll off like water on a good wax job.
If it does bead up....scrub the snot out of it again!
Then plate....
Hope this helps
