bertieng Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Just wondering if oxidized chrome plated seconds hands can be polished with Cape Cod to regain the shiny finish, or it will remove the plating completely leaving a dull look. Anyone tried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetmonster Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 I believe that repolishing to previous state would be hard without professional equipment, and everything depends on the thickness of chrome layer. There is a huge risk to reach metal underneath chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawagner Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 I have polished scratched hands and the coating slowly erodes to the base gold color the more you go. If the scratches are minimal sometimes you can remove them mostly with a nice result but often the hands will be less silver at the send with some of the base metal now exposed. It is a good method for getting a good vintage look on the hands.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
