[Dum-Dum]

Is that actually chromed or just polished?

[Grant]

Polished I would say, from looking at it.

Surly that's just polishing chris, chrome is a chemical process, im sure that chrome cream stuff is just a cutting compound

[kingy]

Looks polished to me.

Yeah chroming is basically coating it in another metal I think....? Was watching it on Wheeler Dealers last week with the Triumph Spitfire bumpers. Pretty cool process tbf.

Mops brushes and chrome cream. ? Deffo polished.

Chrome is dipped aint it?

No need for brushes mops or cream when ya chrome something.

[pugjohn306]

I didnt know what to put it as the cream is like a liquid chrome it is polishing and rechroming...saying that i was a little cofused as what title to put i changed it 3 times lol i think i should of stuck to rechroming or chrome reotation...

Got to admit tho it looks pretty good either way...

As said above that's just metal polishing.

Chrome plate is totally different.

The hard work starts now. As keeping it clean and shiney is just as hard as the initial polish
