Can you rub down chrome?

Hi
My chrome crank has some scuff marks. I want to rub it down to get rid of them, and to hopefully take away the chrome shine, giving it more of a matt and dull worked metal look - can you do that, and if you can, what should I use?
Thanks

You can but you will probably still be doing it this time next year
Joking aside you can flat it with 800/400's wet and dry paper and that should remove the shine and pitting , if its pretty smooth just use finer paper 1000/1200's wet and dry and that will take the sheen off.
Alternatively i would BLAST it
and then get it painted or powdered
Just my opinions and i aint no expert so maybe wait for some of the Restoration experts on here to respond
