Bike Chrome

can i return shine to chrome bmx bike?

my friend sanded down his chrome bike with sandpaper is there a way to give the bike the shine is once had before he sanded it down
one of my friends said to use car wax is that a good idea

Here's the problem.

Chrome is not paint, it is metal that is deposited on the steel of the frame. It is extremely hard and once damaged- you damaged it when you sanded it- there is really no way to restore it other than taking it to a place that applies chrome and have it redone and that will be really expensive, like over $100 easy.

There is no filler or coating that you can use to reverse the damage or even make it look like it once did.
