    Booster finish........

    I had a power brake booster re-done for my mid-year in '07. Works and functions fine. I am losing the plating and It looks like the finish is foaming up? Any way to keep a nice finish on the boster? Any material/dressing to keep it golden? The booster was rebuilt and replated by a well known restorer out of Oregon. I would like to keep the plating looking good as long as possible...........P...

    He's a good guy. I'm sure he would do it over for you if you went to the trouble of removing it. Jeff

      No,Jeff, the work was fine. Went thru judging AOK. I just want to keep the finish looking good. Something to 'polish' maybe.............P

        Polishing will very likely reduce the goldish color. I have a current post here with pics of my new GM or repo along side of an original that I had re-plated. It was re-plated too dark so I was asking advice on it. After reading the responses, I took a small amount of rubbing compound and lightly rubbed it out. It really lightened it up.
