There is flakes coming off my wire ramps. Could I clean them back to a nice finish or do I have to get them re-chromed? I expect the flakes are the original chrome coming off.
Replated Brass (or chrome if you want). You could always powder coat them a hell of a lot cheaper in your choice of colors.
It's Indy so powder coat might not work I don't know anything about this where could I get them dipped in some new chrome or brass
Not sure what you mean? Wireforms can be powder coated on any game. Haven't come across one i couldn't powder. There are plenty of powder shops in australia. In fact one of the best powder makers comes from the land of upside down
what did you use to clean them? Anyone else feel free to chime in as well. I have yet to find a metal polish I really like and am satisfied with.
Be careful with what you use. Chrome is much more forgiving than brass where never dull may take off the plating.
I like Mothers Mag polish and have used it for years. After that I follow w/a slightly dampened paper towel w/Windex on it and wipe to get the 'unseen'black residue off and then follow w/Carnuba wax. As turboderf mentioned for chrome #000 Steel wool...I use #0000. I use the steel wool first. Try different brands/items and then see what works best for you. Sure are tons-o-different products out there!
