I thought I'd give my new headlight reflector a quick polish with Autosol while I was assembling it. I don't recommend it, it took the silvering completely off.

Never use solvol autosol on anything exept alloy and stainless,its an abrasive.I always use Turtle wax on all my chrome and paintwork.

Nickel plating for headlight rims
http://www.cirelectroplating.co.uk/nickel-plating/

minimum fee is £25 so buying new would probably be cheaper.

I managed to get a new pattern reflector back for glass. Not 100% as good fit as my original but will do, better than bining the original glass front. One of the complete chrome back and front types.
