As D Gill said, you will <.....> enough for me.
As D Gill said, you will have to start with a sand paper that will get the scratches out. With scratches it will take forever to polish it.
If they are very deep start with something that will take them out and then step up 200 grit till you get it looking very good before you even start with the polishing.
I have a Cobra Tach that the chrome flaked off it, I sanded all the chrome off down to the bare billet aluminum base. I had scratches so I had to do the same thing. After I got all the scratches out, I polished it with a Harbor Freight polishing kit. It looks pretty darn good now. I could have got it better but it was taking too much time and it was good enough for me.
Your Picture doesn't show on my browser so I don't know what you are working with. If it's Chrome you can still sand it with a high grit sandpaper (don't sand too much) but that may not take all the scratches out. The problem with chrome is once you get through the
Chrome layer you will start to see a mixture of the nickel and the copper layer which will cause discoloration. So tread lightly on chrome.
I sanded some badly weathered (with some spec rust) chrome spokes because they were too rough to polish. Had no choice and they look much better than before.
I am 28 miles in land from the ocean and I can feel the sand and salt in the air
are ya braggin or complainin'??? LOL !!! :s
Both LOL, I moved here from Minnesota to escape the cold and salt on the roads, I have been known to ride in the snow, Now I just have the salt and I hate washing my scooter and The Redhead wont help, Maybe I should trade her in :newsmile100:
