Sorry if this has been asked multiple times before, but what is the best way to bring the case back to a perfect finish?
Can the case be polished or buffed out? If it can, is it something you can do yourself or really only done by a professional?
Appreciate your input!

From my research, it’s generally agreed upon that you can’t really polish out swirls and scratches from chrome like you would with paint.when you polish out scratches on your painted auto, you are really removing the clear coat down past the scratch depth. If there were a top coat on the devialet chrome finish you could do the same. But when it comes to chrome finishes, I think we are SOL.
Hopefully someone can contradict my research because I would like to remove some fine scratches myself.
To give some Hope, I think you could try some chrome polishes that would fill in some of the swirls, but it’s only a mask, not a true remover.

I used a liquid that came with a SMEG stainless steel fridge with a microfibre cloth. You wash the cloth, spin it until it is only vaguely damp and apply two or three drops to the cloth. Takes less than 20 seconds for a gleaming surface that also resists fingerprints for a while

Interesting that a plastic cleaner worked on Chrome. Your photos look nice though. Do you have any before pics?nd did your u have to use a lot of pressure to remove the swirls?
