I'm going to toss my two cents in here. I'm working on the Testors/Franklin Mint 1/9 scale Harley soft tail, and wanted to do it Night Train style, so the chrome had to go. First on list was Bleche White tire cleaner, I bought a bottle just for this. Not good results, if I had left it in overnight, maybe. Next was oven cleaner, big zero, didn't do a thing to this chrome. Next up was bleach, which has been my "go to" stripper in the past, removed most of the plating on a few parts, but left about half the plating on the majority. I have never had such a hard time with chrome stripping before. So we come to purple Super Clean. A few hours in there, every speck of plating, and the clear under it, gone! I have a new "go to", and this stuff strips paint also! Great to have a one bottle solution to these tasks. Happy modeling everyone
