    So a buddy of mine scratched my chrome grill with his wedding band opening my hood. Anyone remove any scratches from that before? I usually use 3M scratche remover on the paint which works wonders, but I am a little leary to go at the plastic chrome on the grill with it.

    I actually like the chrome grill against the silver paint.

    How deep are the scratches?

    Get some Eagle 1 chrome nano polish or Mothers polish
