Semi chrome then some Mothers california gold might do the trick. Check out this site by RoadRat Roberts. Great guy to do business with and old school to boot.

OOps, my bad, It's Hi Tech Yellow not the CA as stated above. I have tried it on my bikes and it does look really nice. Gives chrome that really deep look and does seem to hide the scratches. Also polished my aluminum the same way and it still look like new...................Thanks Roadrat!

No - it's a Microsoft IE problem (POS) [:@][:@]

Sorry folks...[]
I doubt that's it's an IE problemsince I've never had that happen in all the posts that I've made on many forums. Maybe you should blame it on Bush like all the liberals do.LOL

Be forewarned...Semichrome is good stuff. Used it over 40 years ago. It is a abrassive and if you use it too much you will wear thru the chrome and be polishing the metal under it. It will polish any metal to make it look almost like chrome. But it willrust.

I am not 100% sure but I think mrsr71endorses using something called simichrome
It has his triple-endorsement, but unfortunately nothing will remove scratches from chrome other than re-chroming.

One way to fix without rechroming the whole exhaust pipe from scratch is to strip off the chrome, buff the nickel, and rechrome. That is cheaper and easier than stripping pipe all the way down to the steel, and starting over again.

Try www.usachrome.com, American Revolution, Inc. They have done that for me. Patrick Curran is knowledgeable employee who helped me.
