    Chrome Wedges?? How to stop the glare?

    Chrome Wedges?? How to stop the glare?
    Anyone know a local shop that will dechrome wedges?
    I find the chrome finish on my TaylorMade 50 degree and 60 degree wedges glare too bright in the sun.
    I have looked at ironfactory.com site, but he does rechroming by replating.
    I am interested in changing to any other finish once the clubs are dechromed. I know this can lead to possible club weight loss. Blueing looked interesting but, it doesn't look like it works on chrome wedges.

    Any ideas on how to change the finish to stop the glare off my chrome wedges would be great!

    I imagine I could rub mud on them when I start the season next year, but I like playing with clean clubs.

    Very cool results. I hope mine look that good.

    Looks great for 10 minutes work.
    I would satinize my wedges if I wasn't in the process of selling them.

    Would this process remove rust or would you need to use a more abrasive wool?

    I am pretty sure from what I have seen of the process it would remove rust. The process basically scratches off a thin layer of chrome and I sure it would also scratch of rust.

    The superfine(0000) steel wool will remove the rust. When re-blueing one of my putters, it had a bit of rust and the steel wool took it off.
