Re: What kind of power tool/attachement is best for cleaning chrome?

depends on what you mean by minor. Pits you will never truly get rid of in chrome. Pwer balls are good for minor polishing. We sell them for around !8 or 19 dollers each. for stainless you will really not incounter true pits. To polish we use a beartex wheel to get it 90% their and then use a cloth wheel as usual You can use the beartex on chrome some but you have to be careful
