If you can locate exactly who that is, it would be fantastic...

^^^That would be me! It was/is a beta test product. It still has not been released. It did clean the chrome up extremely well, however it did not `correct` or remove the swirls/scratches in chrome.
Thanks for the info. The whole "correcting marring on chrome" thing apparently remains the same...ya just can`t do it.
(But the thought occurs that there are some *VERY* hard steels that guys polish to absolute perfection..is the Chromium harder than those?)
It`d take such fine-yet-aggressive abrasives...I just can`t imagine anything that`d both do the correction and still finish out OK, but I`m sure no expert. Wonder what Cerium Oxide Glass Polish would do...
It did a good enough job for me to pull the trigger. Better results than anything I have ever tried.
Check out the improvement for yourself.

I would not want to use real Cerium Oxide; I think it`s really toxic to breathe it.. Yes, you can mix it into a slurry, and then perhaps, it`s less dangerous??
I wonder what those sticks of product made for polishing metals would do?? There are a few grits of them, one I remember is Tripoli, another - Red Rouge.. There are more.. You just need something fast and slow or a variable air die grinder or something like that and a bunch of cotton cones, wheels, different sizes, and grits or whatever you call cotton polishing products.. I should go look at Eastwood, I think they sell that stuff.. Here https://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-bu...compounds.html

Rouges will polish something like stainless steel ( watchmakers polish up watch cases all the time with it)but I’m not sure about chrome. My concern is that the layer of chrome might be too thin.
I didn`t find anything at Caswell, and they`re kinda my go-to for such stuff (rather than Eastwood in this case).
While some Stainless is pretty hard, I wouldn`t expect it to be as hard as chrome. I`ve never had anything stainless that was as hard as some NON-stainless steels (even a Rockwell in the mid-60s is kinda unusual for stainless...isn`t it? I know things change..) can be and I wouldn`t expect some mix of chromium and [anything] to be as hard as straight chrome plating.
And/but as Bill D pointed out, most chrome is pretty thin so I dunno about using a progression of products..
