Removing small scratches from Chrome

[mlust]

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.

Chrome Scratches

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.

hi
I am interested in your products for removing very minute scratches from chrome (no miracles expected) but the link in this thread to them no longer exists (7/26/0

Could you please provide a url that would get me to both the compound and buffing wheel most appropriate for attempting scratch removal??

thank you!
