Headlight Reflector

[EvolutionDetail]

Does anyone know what you can use to polish the headlight reflector bowl?

Im currently doing a retrofit on my headlights, i took everything apart, and i am seeing some light scratches on my reflector bowl (The chrome reflective looking part).

Does anyone know if you can just use normal polish for the job? Or what does it require?

If it's chrome then just get a metal polish.
Lot's to chose from.
Getting those scratches out might be more trouble then it's worth.
I'd just polish them up the shine will hide any defects.

If the bowl is plastic its vacuum chrome plated. Its delicate and no polish will clean up the scratches unfortunately.

Well i tried some polish with a MF towel, turns out that the chrome paint is rubbed off.

Then i used carpro eraser with a towel to clean off the polish oil, and more of it came off lol.

I guess i will just spray paint it black as well
