Chrome Polish a Metal Second Stage

[scrane]

I recently upgraded my nice old 109 to balanced with parts obtained from @rsingler. Piece of cake.

Use is character....

There is a difference between "use" and "abuse"...

Hello divers. This tread has nothing to do with diving but how to keep a chrome metal regulator looking new. I am currently doing divemaster course and using a A700 second stage, the front faceplate have some minor scratches. I have been using chrome polish, it seems to work okay. How do you guys keep a chrome reg looking like new? thanks

A couple of these are pretty inexpensive and protect the regulators when in the bag or traveling. A bit of Mothers Polish and a micro cloth to make them pretty again.

I just bought one of these from simply scuba. It is quite awesome. Just need to remember to take it off before diving

What is the procedure to make a reg shiny like that? I have the exact same chrome polish, BUT it doesn't get rid of the scratches

My chrome regs have held up pretty well. I'll take some Generic autobody chrome polish to them every few years but that is about it.

Of course, you can always re-chrome anytime you want. I take my reg re-chroming projects to a local mom & pop motorcycle repair shop.

Now you're just rubbing it in, twice
