Chrome detailing interest

I am interested in starting my own chroming business, i.e., detailing rims,rails,auto parts, etc. What I need to know is the type of equipment that will be needed. As well as materials and procedures. Or any other references that I could use to help me achieve this goal.

Hello and good day! I am in GP and have worked with chrome and aluminum therefore I know the product and procedures I was trained in. I even buffed old looking aluminum rims and tanks into a mirror shine. I love chrome, the hard work put into it is well worth it, please give me details on what you need to know, maybe I can help.
