Default Removing light scratches from chrome

I just put a new set of pipes on my wifes Deluxe. While prepping them I placed the pipes on a large piece of clean cardboard. After installing I noticed some very light scratches on the surface either from the cardboard, or maybe some light grit on the cardboard. Does anyone know of a product, or procedure to remove these? The scratches are very light and I guess I will live with them, but would rather remove them if possible. Any help would be great, and save my a** with the wife!

Try this.



Simichrome is the finest all metal polish in the world... It's unique, finely mixed formula produces a rich, brilliant shine on any uncoated, non-ferrous, metal surface. Perfect for chrome, silver, brass, gold, copper, pewter, aluminum, magnesium, stainless steel, even plexaglass.

In addition to restoring the original luster, Simichrome also leaves a thin, invisible, protective film which lasts much longer than other brands of polish. The shelf life is about five years stored cool and dry.

A solid favorite for home, industry, auto, motorcycle, antique users and more. Metal working, plastics and other industries have discovered that Simichrome is the perfect product to polish tool die molds, extrusion dies... Anywhere an ultra fine final polishing is required.

Happich Simichrome polish meets Military Spec. MIL P 6888 A (ASG). This product is made in Germany.
