Hello everyone,

I have been lurking on the board for a couple of months and just wanted to say hi. I am really impressed by the amount of knowledge and help the members bring to Autopia and the nice tone most of the debate has.



Anyways, I digress. My car (Lexus IS300) has a chrome gear shift knob that is starting to look swirled (micro-scratches). I have tried Mother's Chrome Polish which makes it shiny but doesn't help on the scratches. I have thought of trying Harley-Davidson Chrome Polish. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hope this helps. I'm sure you'll get some other great tips here.
 
Chrome is a real challenge. Chrome is a very hard surface unlike paint. I have some scratches ( more than micro) in a chrome bumper that would require the steel wool method and then polishing. I have not found a polish that can truly remove maring in chrome that the steel wool will surely cause therefore I have put off polishing the bumper.



This may not be of much help but when possible use a test area.

Please follow up on your thread with your results.



good luck
 
I had the same problem with some of my chorme finish. I have tried the 3M Abbrasive's most abbrasive product but the scratches were never removed... I gave up!!!
