Removing small scratches from Chrome - Plating Powder Coating Buffing Anodizing

mlust · #1 (**permalink**) 09-30-2002, 07:35 PM

On my custom bike, I have a few chrome parts (such as the speedometer housing, transmission end cover, and handlebars) that are chrome and it appears to be very good quality chrome. However, I have a few small scratches in various places in the chrome, most are not very deep. I have tried using a chrome polish and rubbing with a soft cloth, but they persist. Is this a lost cause or is there any way to remove scratches from chrome with out having to re-chrome?

Try polishing with a Spiral Sewn Cotton buffing wheel and a white compound.

We sell a kit that has 4\" wheels ideal for mounting on an electric drill.

Won't polishing chrome with a compound scratch it?

Not if you use the right compound.

The white compound and blue compound are made to polish chrome and other hard metals like nickel.
