I can report without bias that Caswell's Copy Cad plating system definitely works. Yesterday I plated my first items using "reasonable" care and attention to guidelines. My one "advantage" (if you want to call it that) was that I purchased one of their 3V plating rectifiers for $95 which allows me to precisely control the voltage and amperage.
Using zinc brightner, I got parts that look Chromed. Very pleased with the kit as far as results go.
As a test, I sprayed a freshly plated part with Simple Green which is a caustic cleaning solution and did get any dulling of the bright finish. it wiped off and left the bright, chrome looking finish, which surprised me.
I would think that anyone should be able to achieve similar results with just the minimal care and attention.
