Let's settle the issue....if you use a high speed wheel with rouge similar to what plating plants use (I worked in one) you could easily burn through chrome plating and into sub-layers where bright nickel, dull nickel and copper strike are waiting.

But we arent even mildly hinting of this industrial use of applied and accepted method. We are talking about hand rubbing. Now, if you are talking about polishing your chrome every night like an inmate trying to dig through a concrete wall with a rock pick.......
