I thought Zoops was for polished aluminum.

RE: polishing chrome
Has anyone tried my DriWash Metal Polish? The first time I used it, I could not believe the results. I used it on polished aluminum, and with very little effort, it made the aluminum look like chrome! It works awesome on any untreated metal: aluminum, stainless, sterling silver, copper, you name it.

Pammie, if u dont me asking, how much to rechrome?

Brand new aluminum timing cover and brand new aluminum water pump (obviously no rust or pitting to remove), about $100-$150 each. New original alternator bracket (again, no rust or pitting) about $40 or $50. I also want my shifter handle done but it has rust and pitting so didn't get a price
On their website they have some quotes and a full sized fender seems to be about $500-$600
If I bring in my stuff next week (they're just 2 towns over) I can have it back in mid-January, which is when the engine should be about ready to go back in.

RE: polishing chrome
I replaced all the chrome on mine when it was repainted this year. Don't expectrepo pieces to fit like the originals. Some of my newpieces needed a little persuasion but it turned out nice.
