If the scratches are only surface scatches, sometimes they can be buffed out with a rubbing compound, followed by a buffing with chrome polish. if they are deep though, it has to be either repaired and rechromed, or replaced.

I have two tubes of Solvol Autosol in my tool box. Have had them for 20 years!! It is a metal polish - I use it sparingly!! I got it in Ireland before moving to Canada 20 years ago!!I suspect it is the same stuff. Great polish!!

Got 4 tube of Autosol from a gasstation closing down, for 10 bucks US dollars.
Had 2 from before, so I`m a happy polisher, with no much chrome

We have several different types of chrome and all take a different way of repair. Some is plastic and/or ABS, others is powder coat chrome and of course the one we all love real chrome on metal. The later being the hardest in both tehcnical and repair.

I was told to use Autosol on all my collector watches from a watch builder who I bought from in Geneva. When I got home to Canada, I mentioned the great results to Hurst Yamaha whom I had bought my bike with (they started stocking it after their own tests on a tube I gave them). I use it on many other surfaces including my headlights and my windshield. It is readily available in Canada and the EU, but very hard to find in the USA. I have a good source so PM me if you need to know as I am not allowed to mention it on this forum. However, don’t take my word. Owning a Valk, I have plenty of experience in taking care of chrome, so here is a totally independent review of the product. Note it has five stars for use and results, yet only three for availability.
