down to the nickel plate. (Look for a yellowish cast after about
6 months; the nickel is starting to oxidize, the chrome plate
had served to prtect the nickel from that, and give a silvery
"chrome-like", finish. Plating is porus, having removed some/all of
the chrome, you are left with one less layer of protection.
OBTW, the chrome plated layer is only 5 microns thick, much
thinner than the nickel and if you are lucky, the base of copper.

Wow!!! Given that i was actually trying to convey to you that I would take your word, BUT,since you HAVE seen all my bikes, I guess you are right; "I have destroyed" the chrome on all my bikes. Also, can you explain what an abrasive does??? Oh yeah, not only does it scratch, but removes material. I guess some super fine scratches caused by fine steel wool can not be removed by buffing using an abrasive. I did say that there was some rust and that many people I know, including people who do chrome plating have suggested using steel wool to remove the rust. Oh well, who reads everything ones write.
