Chrome Strip Solution (1 Litre) When using this product please be aware that the solution will work quickly & bubbles will start to form almost immediately & the liquid will turn from being clear to green, if this does not happen then your item is probably not chrome or has been treated with a top coat of something that will need to be removed first. Chromed items have usually got a nickel base which when the chrome has been stripped leaves the nickel exposed & this is usually is a shiny surface which can be mistaken for a chrome surface & therefore looks like the chrome has not been removed. Please see a sample of a stripped chromed part using the Chrome Strip solution showing its effectiveness.
