Electropolish: The only solution for stainless steel car parts | Limat | 14.12.08


Metal polishing is a great way to maintain stainless steel's shiny and attractive appearance over time. Metal polishing can also be a great way to restore faded stainless steel parts.

There are many ways to polish stainless steel parts, and some can even be applied to stainless steel and aluminum car parts. Electrochemical polishing is a state-of-the-art way and a polishing method which ensures a longer shelf life for new products and guarantees their appearance for years. 

Stainless steel and aluminum car parts often include sharp, hard to reach angles, making mechanical polishing esthetically undesirable and financially impractical. Acid-based metal polishing also achieves only partially good results, especially considering such parts are exposed to the various elements of nature and the hazards of the road.

The Automotive industry, more so than others, must consider  factors of esthetics and durability. Electropolishing delivers the desired effect on both counts.  

The European and US auto markets have long since discovered the benefits of electrochemical polishing, which allows them a commercial edge those who have yet to discover this future method of metal polishing.

Nowadays, all types of metals used in the automotive industry undergo polishing: chassis, bumpers, classic car parts, and faded chrome parts in need of restoration. Should a car or car part manufacturer wish to achieve  a long-lasting, durable chrome finish, electropolishing is the answer.
