This is a fairly new product here - if you've used it - is it any easier to get a durable chrome look with this product? Perhaps you could draw some comparisons with Alclad and Ultimate Chrome (Spaz Stix)...

Front runner Alclad? I guess that you haven't tried Spaz-Stix yet?

Oh yes I have, and it may be a better chrome than Alclad, but I was simply stating a perception...

And why the heck are you going off-topic?! You want to sing the praises of Ultimate Chrome... START YOUR OWN THREAD! :angry:

I tried Spaz Stix and didn't have any success... followed the directions to the T.

Yeah, that's exactly why I'm interested in Xtreme Chrome - didn't have any real repeatable success with either Alclad or Ultimate Chrome (Spaz Stix). So, hopefully someone has tried Xtreme Chrome and can report...

RELATED OPINION

Personally, I don't believe that a black backer is all that necessary, and certainly does NOT make the chrome look... chromier... It may help smooth the surface a bit, but let's face it... If you did a poor job of smoothing your surface, ain't nothin's gonna make up fer it!

It's only important if you're working on the INSIDE of a lexan body - then, you need a backer to really give the chrome some pop, but in this example, the visible side of the chrome never actually touches the black - it's truly a... "backer"!
