kclark Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Which Chrome Polisher do you use? I haven't heard of a couple of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude Light Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I have nickel and I use Flitz which will also work for chrome. http://www.flitz.com/flitz-polish-liquid/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Blue Magic is pretty good stuff. I used up my can and found it hard to get more. So I bought some off a chrome plater in Hamilton who made up his own formula. It is pretty good. Remember Chrome plating is porous. So is nickel. That is why copper is put on first - it is not or is far, far less porous. You may get tiny rust spots appearing in your chrome work: that is corrosion through the pores. It seems if you can remove them and the polish leaves a protective finish to exclude moisture, it will reoccur only very slowly, depending on the quality and thickness of the film you leave on. If it is on pot metal = diecast, the craters and explosion holes of white powder are where the zinc is corroding in the pot metal. That can be fixed too fairly easily, but not cheaply - it takes a lot of time and polishing plus a couple of visits to the copper plater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockne33DLXRoadster Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 The best chrome polish is wheat flour. Get these Info from a super high level chrome plating Shop in Germany. Sounds odd but works very fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Superfine flour is probably cheaper than jeweler's rouge! Then wax it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
