CHROME PLATING OF MAG WHEELS

I am based in South Africa and I am getting a lot of enquiries for the Chroming or Re-chroming of Mag wheels of cars and motorcycles. As you would know, chrome does not like going into holes. I have tried two different types of catalyst, but to no avail. Could someone be of assistance?

Hello, Norman. I'm surprised that you've made it as far as you have without auxiliary anodes. They are the answer I think.
