I found that you can't polish the Chrome direct, but been told you can polish the clear. Which chrome & clear did you use? If you used the powder from here, it should be good. But chrome powder will always, at best, look like smokey chrome, always and forever.

as jtw37 says you can not buff chrome powder direct . but yes you can buff the clear just like you would buff a liquid clear coat it will make the clear smoother but it will not make the chrome powder any brigther and it will never be like real chrome . if you really want it to look like chrome have it chrome plated
