Posted on Friday, July 13, 2012 - 03:30 am:        I have been looking around this site for ways on how to remove scratches in the satin chrome finishes commonly found in vintage cameras. I personally have an Electro 35 with some light scratches on it. The kind where the chrome that was scratched is more shiny than the rest of the finish. It seems more smooth and reflective than the "satin" it is supposed to be. I have a few other cameras which could use a touch-up as well. Hopefully this won't require any abrasives or a heavy polish?   Finnegan Tinkerer Username: Finnegan Post Number: 194 Registered: 09-2009 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

More like, you would want to add more "dirt" to get the "bright marks", as they are called, to tone down to the same sheen as the rest of the chrome.
