OOps, my bad, It's Hi Tech Yellow not the CA as stated above. I have tried it on my bikes and it does look really nice. Gives chrome that really deep look and does seem to hide the scratches. Also polished my aluminum the same way and it still look like new...................Thanks Roadrat!

RE: Removing light scratches from chrome
Be forewarned...Semichrome is good stuff. Used it over 40 years ago. It is a abrassive and if you use it too much you will wear thru the chrome and be polishing the metal under it. It will polish any metal to make it look almost like chrome. But it willrust.

One way to fix without rechroming the whole exhaust pipe from scratch is to strip off the chrome, buff the nickel, and rechrome. That is cheaper and easier than stripping pipe all the way down to the steel, and starting over again.
