RE: VIDEO: Cleaning Chrome Pipes
ORIGINAL: hotshot
I didn't make my question too clear, sorry.
In the video, you rubbed the pipe down with something at the beginning of the video, before you started using the Meguires (sp) polish. Just wondering what it was. It looked like alcohol or something like that.
Thanks for the info and I appreciate it very much.

I'll use Mequire's to remove blemishes if they're any.

RE: VIDEO: Cleaning Chrome Pipes
OK... this may sound harsh but removing scratches and gouges from chrome is the same as any other metal refinishing process. If the scratch is deep you can start by using #0000 stainless steel wool covered in any type of autobody polish (as a lubricant), don't let the polish dry.
Once enough material is removed, or if the scratches are minor,switch to a cloth type buffer wheel on a high speed drill or dremel and use tripoline as a cutting agent (polish)... to finish, use jewelers rouge on the buffing wheel. It will look like glass when done.
