chrome rims

Any ideas how can i remove light scratches that are so thin that you can't feel them but they make the chrome rims look almost mat at the point that they are??

Re: chrome rims

Chrome is very hard. Chrome polishes usually are for removing corrosion and for brightening the chrome. Usually chrome polish will not remove scratches in the chrome.

Re: chrome rims

In my experience the haziness/scratches are a sign of failing plating. The only thing to repair it is having them redone.
