Revitalising Plated Fittings - Jamie - 28-12-2018

Does anyone have any suggestions for revitalising the finish on plated fittings, such as door handles, other than replating, replacing or living with them?

Regards,

Jamie.

I use an ultrasonic cleaner - works wonders.

Any suggestions on make/model, Ruairidh?

Thank you for the suggestion. How do you protect the surface afterwards, assuming that the pits are fairly deep?

Regards,

Jamie.

I bought a nickel stripping and plating kit
and used it to refurbish instrument rims, handles , screws etc.

There’s a thread on this forum , under AllAlloyCup and plating

If you need more info just use the search tool above for
“Nickel plating” round about Sept 2017

Martin - the one I have is big enough to take a crankcase, with heating element etc. If you send me what you want to clean I will do so and send it back to you.

Jamie - I use metal polish and put it back on the car/s, so far, so good.

Ruairidh, 
What solvent do you use in the ultrasonic cleaner?
