KickStartMyHeart Posted June 4, 2010 Report Posted June 4, 2010 I know this has been brought up some time or another and Ive searched but was unsuccessful in mysearch. I recently came across a set of pipes that were chrome and shiney at one time but are NO LONGER that shiney. Is there anyway or any process I can do to get them at least a lil shiney? Or am I pretty much F'd and have to have them re-chromed? I also thought about ceramic coating them, but I want a gloss finish to em. I do not like the flat color finishes. I like the glossy colors.

I'm assuming that you don't have a buffing wheel... If it's not all rusty you can just use a soft cloth and something like Brasso. If it's all rusty and as long as the chrome hasn't started flaking or peeling you can rub it down with crumbled-up aluminum foil and Coca-Cola, then follow it up with some chrome polish. Sounds crazy but it works really well. If your looking for someone else to do it for you most bike shops (Harley or customs) have buffing equipment and will buff it for a fee. Quote
