| ■Why do you need MEKKING? If there is metal coating, why does it get rusty? |
| □Chrome metal is |
| ■beautiful ■resistant to tarnish ■resistant to corrode. For these reasons, it is used for motorbikes and car parts. However, due to its biggest weak point, it can get rusty!! |
| The weak point is…the invisible holes on the surface of chrome metal plating. Water and dust can enter from the holes and <<the base of the metal plating>> starts to get rusty. |
| *Chrome metal plating itself is resistant to corrosion, but he parts underneath exposed by the holesstart to collect rust! |
| ☆Water spots emerge |
| ☆Rust spots emerge |
| ☆The rust starts to spread out. |
| ☆The surface of chrome plating gets peeled off. |
| This is a typical flow. |
| □ Is it not okay to use wax to maintain metal plating? |
| Oil is the main element of wax. Oil is supposed to oxidize before the metal does to protect the metal layer. However, the dirt from oil corrosion can cause rust. |

| It is the same mechanism as cosmetics. If you don’t apply lotion frequently enough, it causes rough skin. |
| There are a lot of wax products that contain abrasive cleansers. If you polish too much using wax, you might scrape off the chrome metal plating. |
| □“I polish often, but the metal plating looks dull.” |
| There are a lot of cases where the nickel plating base is showing!! |
| “I got a small scratch by polishing my chrome metal plating!” |
| Why?? |
| It’s a rule of thumb that you don’t polish chrome metal plating. |
| There is another reason to this. |
| Which is… |
| The surface of chrome metal plating is high in specularity and density, so it can easily leave a small scratch. |
| <<Common patterns and examples>> |
| ■Let’s scrape it off with a towel, using wax. “Oh no. There are so many little scratch marks.” |
| This is the worst case scenario that you want to avoid. |
| *Please be careful when you use a cloth or cotton. |
| (They tend to smear the dirt, so if there is any dust on the surface, the dust can get dragged and make scratch marks.) |
| Chrome metal plating is high in specularity and density, so it can easily leave noticeable scratch marks. |
| ★The important point here is to polish the metal plating gently. Please stop scraping! It can easily leave scratch marks. |
| *You can polish as if you were stroking. |
| So…you need to use a special cloth to maintain metal plating. |
| It can be described as a super expensive spectacles cloth. (fine micro cloth fiver) |
| □The reason why you can’t polish …if you polish too much, it can cause chrome metal plating to peel off. |
| Why? |
| Decorative chrome metal plating has a very thin layer. |
| The normal thickness of chrome metal layer is around 0.02μm). |
| (*1 micron =1/1000 millimeters) |
| It is crystal clear that the layer is very thin. |
| Chrome plating is thickened by the base part |
| (Copper plating + nickel plating). |
| So… |
| You need to be careful with choosing the right chemical to maintain chrome plating. |
| If you polish off too much with an abrasive cleanser, the chrome plating can get peeled off and the nickel plating on the base can start to be revealed. |
| □Generally speaking, the most commonly used cleaning product for metal is Pikal. However it has an abrasive agent. |
| It is okay to use it rarely but, if you use it too much, there is a possibility of scraping off the chrome plating. |
| (Single metal, for instance stainless-steel items do not have any issue with abrasive cleansers.) |

| ★This is the reason why you can’t polish metal plating. It’s the best to <<protect>> not polish. |
| As mentioned before, there are invisible holes on the surface of chrome plating. |
| ☆What is the weak point of chrome plating? *There are holes on the surface. |
| ☆How about durability of chrome plating? *Good |
| ∴Any suggestions for improvement? |
| Of course!! If we can fill in the holes, the durability would drastically go up. |
| ○Stainless-steel is resistant to rust, isn’t it? Stainless-steel is made of <<nickel and chrome>>. |
| In other words, if we could cover up the holes, |
| Chrome plating can be as durable as stainless-steel. |
| MEKKING can fill in the holes. |
| ★The design of the crystal bottle comes from the image of clear MEKKING that completely protects metal layers. |
| We have tested the effect of MEKKING. |
| We applied MEKKING to half of the metal plating and left it under harsh conditions for about 2 weeks. |
| There was a clear difference between the area where we applied MEKKING and the area where we didn’t. |
| We highly recommend MEKKING in order to maintain the luster of metal plating and also to make maintenance easy. |
