Dull plating on ABS

We do Cu-Ni-Cr plating on ABS plastic but recently facing a dullness (mostly at LCD) on finished goods. We tried out with increasing & decreasing current densities but no result, we also done the excess addition of brighteners but the issue is same. So suggest the solution.

Hello, Manish. Have you run Hull Cell ⇦ huh? panels and, if so, what results are you getting? Please don't tell us you add and remove brighteners from a production tank without trying things in a 267 ml sample first 🙂
