RE: McIntosh "Samra Style"

The chrome is very very tedious to do on the mac or any screen plated chrome surface, as any mis- step will remove the silk screen (the only thing harder is oxidized untreated aluminum, in that case you are SOL and look to have it re- lettered after resurfacing)..

It's a multi-step process that starts with a damp sponge, dish soap, and a couple of nights with a q-tip to avoiding the silk screen. Fist run is Noxin 7, followed by collinite 840 cleaner, and then collinte 845, you can go over the silk screen very lightly with the 845 and a soft cotton rag. You don't really hit those screened areas, you just kind of "cheat it."

The transformers you can do the same way, except instead of noxin 7 use McGuires or any 3000+ cutting compound.
