Ken .. have you ever tried 3-M  silicon-carbide deburring wheels?
We use them at work and they give me them when worn down a bit and they are magic for initial polishing plus they last absolutely ages and don't make loads of mess. I think they are quite expensive though. I seem to remember a set of coarse/fine replacement wheels cost as much as the grinder/polisher you buy as a 'deburring station' that comes with them as part of the 'kit'

Do you mean removing the old chrome?

PS I use microcrystalline wax on polished surfaces - it helps

I have a joke about something like that. 

And this is not the joke but I was telling it at work one day to a manager, I'd warned him from the outset that he may think it was racist but I assured him it wasn't. Got halfway through and he yelled at me "Tell me one more word and I'll suspend you" I kid you not.  Now I thought he was joking so I carried on after giving him a funny look, he then said "That's it, I'm serious, one more word and you're suspended". He then stormed off. There was a female manager by the side of him and I looked at her and said, it's not racist I swear and to prove it I'll tell you the rest of it. At the end she agreed it wasn't racist, the other manager (a bloke I may add) came back, I told him she'd agreed it wasn't racist but he said and I kid you not. "If I think it's racist, then it's racist and that's that".

I replied "Everyone thought the earth was flat many years ago and it turned out not to be, so you can think what you like, it doesn't make you right"

Smerk? No actually it proved to be a major problem between us until I left. He didn't like being shown up as an arsehole so he decided to try and make my life hell. I had my own unit, it was a sort of reward because I always kept my units immaculate, every day when I started and he was on he'd given it away to someone else, he claimed he'd forgotten and it was an accident, I got more and more annoyed, whenever he wasn't on shift I got my unit, the other managers knew what was going on but didn't intervene, one day after finishing my shift I decided to have it out with him, "Nice Day?" the other manager said, "yeah ok" I replied, "would have been even better with my own unit" He wasn't having that so he pipes up, "It's not your unit, it's Asdas unit" "Funny that, if you look on that list in front of you it clearly has my name against that reg and the rules are you're supposed to consult that list before giving a unit out, now if I wasn't doing my job you'd be all over my arse but you don't do it and it's a mistake and nothing said" He sort of exploded, "I give it away deliberately" he said " Just to piss you off" "You do know that's a form of bullying and can get you in real trouble if I report it" He was a little wary after that but decided to face it out, "I can do what I want and there's nothing you can do" So I reported him, the other manager backed me up that he'd said it. After that I always got my unit but the tension between us could be cut with a knife. I've had him so close to my face ours noses were touching, he was very red in the face and he had his fists clenched, I suppose he didn't like me much  ;D ;D I was a Senior Shop Steward for a number of years and didn't take any bullshit and that annoyed the hell out of him, just a typical bully, doesn't like being stood up to.

Ash, no never tried them, never even heard of them TBH, are they meant for a bench grinder?

Roo, I've used Carnuba Wax on some of my polished surfaces, it can help keep them clean and makes them easier to clean when they get dirty. Depends where the surface is located though, if it has heat going through it I don't bother.
