Try not to look at em.... j/k there's really not much you can do to REMOVE scratches from chrome. You can polish em, rub em, and wax em.....But none of it will remove scratches.

Unfortunately, scratches on chrome can't be completely fixed, unlike polished aluminum. This being said, if the scratches are very small and shallow, you can try Simichrome. I've had some success with it on a headlight with very small scratches but again, don't expect a miracle.

Just shows you're riding it, adds character.
