What is EnduraShine? EnduraShine is a coating that provides the brilliance of a chrome or polished piece, without the maintenance or the high price tag normally associated with polished or chrome. The secret to the success of EnduraShine is its three-step coating process. First a base coat is applied for adhesion and smoothing properties. A second coat of metal is then applied in a high-tech vacuum chamber for a complete and consistent coat that is actually thinner than a human hair. The third and final coating includes a clear powder coat for the ultimate protection and durability. This all adds up to great looks, exceptional value and long-term durability.

Features Include:
* Brilliant Shine- won't oxidize, fade or discolor like chrome or polished finish for a fraction of the cost of chroming or polishing and is environmentally friendly
* Economical Alternative- unique three step coating process offers a show-quality
* Durable Finish- easily cleans with soap and water and looks great with a coat of your favorite car wax.
