You can have it replated, you can polish it as best you can, and you can wax it if appropriate. But once the plating begins to fail, all you can do is *maybe* slow it down. And your location and indoor climate also has a lot to do with it. Peter Wieck Wyncote, PA |

Hi RATs!
Pits happen. If you build a huge fence around them, you may keep the dinosaurs out ... Happy Ears Al |

According to many an apocryphal tale, a motorcycle engine can be completely dissolved by returning current through the cylinder head. Anyway, it may help to remember that metal corrosion is an electrical phenomenon. Earth currents, and eddy currents induced by electrostatic or magnetic fields, can act as accelerants. Good chrome has an underlay of copper and nickel and very rarely pits. cheers, Ian |
