It'll only take you all day to polish one thing. *smh*

@cableaddict agreed. I have a whole bunch of chrome bike parts to polish and i would hate to do it by hand since I have a Dremel 400 at my disposal.

Getting rid if tool marks requires softer polishing. You could use water to blend in tool marks with rough abrasive polish. I haven't used the polish that came with mine. I actually use 3M rubbing compound, with enough passes it will give it a mirror finish.

FLitz is the best

WHY is this not recommended for chrome?
Is there something else I can use with my Dremel, for chrome?
-
@7brothers around $100

Can the felt tips be reused or are they one time use?

@merlin4029 i have a 4000 and i rubbed polishing compound that came with it on my shiny 1st gen ipod touch back and polished it all different speeds and ways and it still looks like brushed chrome...

How do you get rid of the tool marks on the metal after you're done? I've tried using more/less polish, polishing lighter/harder, polishing multiple times, and I've tried polishing with quicker/slower strokes. I only have a one-speed, so maybe the bit is moving too quickly/slowly, so any information would be appreciated.
