Scratch-X works well on plastic surfaces, including knobs, FYI.

Nice and shiny! Mustn't rub too hard, though!

Works on chrome too Image Even works on nickel and zinc...

Well, take awhile on either, lots of reapplications, but it works...

Is Scratch-X safe for Nickel and/or Chrome parts? I used to use a creme called "Blue Magic" for Chrome and Brass and it worked Great (and safely). Kind of hard to find, except at someplace like "Pep Boys". I don't know if it's OK for Nickel, though...

Safe. I've used it on both metals with great results. I use it on tuners; applying it with a toothbrush while the tuner is OFF the guitar (can get a tad messy). Brush, brush, brush... Wipe with clean diaper. Clean diaper becomes dirty. Then you smile.

Use another toothbrush for your smile, though.

We will have to get you a plaque or perhaps a crest for this one, Paul.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm
