Pitting in chrome.
« on: November 15, 2007, 10:27 AM »
I read a thread earlier where Iain (phatom photon) said ...wet n dry or an oilstone

Has anyone ever used this on a chrome frame that has pitting?

What is an oilstone and what wet and dry grade would you use.?

Surely it would scratch the chrome?

You can try the old wives favorite method of using tin foil with a bit of wd, or also the Brasso wadding works well too.

I personally wouldn't use wet n dry or an oilstone on chrome. I would only use them on alloy where you want a polished finish (See pics below) :daumenhoch: If the chrome is badly pitted probably the only option would be a full rechrome.
I have used a very fine wire wool (0000 gauge I think!) with autosol on chrome frames with some minor pitting and have had very good results  :daumenhoch:
