[QUOTE="Gr8fulmtnbiker, post: 15865381, member: 163992"] Understood. I think I would try a professional detailer or maybe even a chrome shop then (unless you are really good at it yourself). I believe chrome is a pretty thin layer of material- to remove scratches does not really mean you are removing scratches you are just leveling the area around the scratch to even things out. But there is only so much chrome to work with. I know some people who have successfully removed very light scratches with fine steel wool and lots of polish, others have used very fine sandpaper, etc. but if you buff too far or too hard then it will leave worse marks. It is a balancing act that from what I understand does not have very good odds if the scratches are significant. Best of luck to you man! [/QUOTE]
