Pre-chrome plate polishing is a hard and dirty job which requires a modicum of intelligence, or just common sense.

I have seen petrol tanks polished so thin that the metal buckled and the tank ruined.

Then again I have known whole components such as levers given to the plater whole expecting him to dismantle them, so I suppose lack of common sense works both ways. :white_frowning_face:

Good news: I am not running headlights in my tank, or petrol in my headlight :)

I met this chap at the Beaulieu Autojumble who does nothing but headlamp re silvering. Though I have not used him myself the items on his display were exceptional. I do know others who have used him and were very happy with the result.
