chroming metal

Whats the best product to use to get metal really shiney, as in chrome shiney, how do you do it too? Use a polisher? Elbow grease?

Cheers

What part do you need to polish?

Its actually on my bike, things like the gear lever and brake lever ect

If the parts are made of aluminium then you can polish them with Autosol or a similar mildly abrasive metal polish. For such small parts use elbow grease and a cloth

The parts to be polished need to be bare aluminium though, so if yours have coatings/ plating on them then you'll need to remove this first. Wet and Dry paper (1000 grit upwards) with soapy water will work well.

Polishing is also a good way of building up arm muscles too
