However, if you prefer the look of a satin finish metal, you can sand down the polish on a chrome object to give it a more brushed or satin look.
Things You Will Need
-
Soak your sand paper in a bucket of water for 10 minutes before sanding the chrome surface.
-
Wet sand the chrome with a 220-grit sand paper. This will remove the shine of the polish and roughen the surface of the metal.
-
Wet sand the chrome with a 400-grit sandpaper. This will smooth out any roughness on the surface of the chrome and give it a satin luster.
-
Wipe down the chrome with a damp cloth to remove any loose sanding dust.
