Mother's chrome polish or Zephers should do the trick if they aren't too deep!!!!!!

Scratches in chrome are there to stay. Because of the thickness (or lack of) of the chrome, once scratched, the part can only be replaced, not scratches removed

I haven't used the product personally, but a guy at the Harley store swears by it:

http://www.miraclechromeplus.com/chrome_polish.htm

The commercial they have on TV for this stuff they use it on a penny and the thing ends up with chrome plating. Not sure if it will work for scratches but I'm going to try it on some small ones I have on my mirrors.

I haven't found any local places (Wal-mart, Autozone, etc.) that sell it. If anyone knows where to buy it please post. Otherwise I'll just order it online

Go online and search for Miracle Wipe or Miracle Rag...it's something like that. Most of the ones you see are repackaged as they are mainly sold in quantities. Used to buy a lot of them when I was doing a lot of chrome and polish work...sent one out with each order. Will see if I can find source in morning...or rather later this morning.
