Torque and Chrome

How to turn chrome motorcycle parts to a satin finish?

I used a green scotch brite pad on some scrap chrome parts and the satin finish looks good, but there are scratch marks when light hits a certain way. Is there a way to get rid of the scratch marks?

1. Try bead blasting with fine beads. Be careful or you can remove the chrome completely.
2. try burnishing cloth, it's a purple looking sandpaper, finest they make.
3. Try Mother's Chrome and Aluminum polish with a small buff pad (like one for a 3/8" drill or dremmel tool.) The more you buff, the smoother it gets and less marks. On the down side, you will probably never get all scratch marks out. However, it will shine like satin.
4. bead blast and then powdercote. good for you. chrome suks.
