HTC Sensation 4G Chrome Polished Frame

---

Hey guys I have polished the frame of my HTC Sensation 4G. My phone now looks like it should be in the window at some high end luxury retailer. I wrote up a tutorial on my blog for anyone who wants to do theirs. Lots of Pictures too.

HTC Sensation 4G Chrome Polished Frame

Wow! Great job that looks amazing. I dropped my phone recently. Do you think the sanding will get out a couple of small scratches?

Chromalicious for those that like chrome and don't mind the extra up keep. It does look good though.

WOW that looks great! I might have to do this. How easy was it to get it that shiny?

I did this to my HD2 but gave up before achieving the chrome finish. It took forever to get the finish off & my hands started aching(carpal tunnel), so it ended up with a brushed metal finish instead. Still looked cool, though.

Yeah it took me about 6 hours ( including clean up time ). My finger tips are very sore. The Metal Polish Creme makes all the difference. You can get it most AutoParts Stores. Autozone locally carries it ( runs about $6 for the jar )

Damn... I wonder if there's a way to do this with a drill or a polishing wheel. No way would my weak little hands last 6 hours.

You should charge for doing this, looks really cool.

That would take all of 5 minutes on a good buffing wheel. Start with some Tripoli on a loose wheel and finish with some jeweler's rouge on a smaller flannel wheel, it will shine like chrome on a wannabe's Harley.

I saw this a little while ago...it looks very impressive but 6 hours and all that elbow grease is a lot of work...wonder if an acid bath might accomplish the same in seconds?

Very nice. Knowing me I'd get bored half way through and then my phone would look sh*te!
