Cray Wheel question - need help
Hey guys
I just purchased a set of used Chrome Scorpions in excellent shape. My question is about the barrels - they are chrome but do not shine - look more like satin. I'd like to work on them to get them to shine like the chrome fronts but I'm not sure how to do it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?
Thanks
bob

Not gonna happen.
All you can do is to take them to a wheel shop, have them polished and plated. EXPENSIVE
My deep-dish repos are pretty much the same way. To be honest, I am the only one that notices that they are not as shiny as the outside. I would suggest just living with it.

If the chrome has deteriorated, not much you can do but have them professionally replated.
