Description
With Dr. Galva Shine Refresher „Nickel“, you can quickly bring your galvanic nickel layers back to a high gloss. The effective formula replaces depleted brighteners and auxiliaries and restores the original layer quality – ideal for DIY workshops and professional tank plating.
Application
-
Check: If the shine visibly diminishes, it’s time to refresh.
-
Dose: Add approx. 3 ml/L directly to the bath (up to 5 ml/L if needed).
-
Mix: Briefly stir or air-agitate to homogenize.
-
Plate: Continue plating immediately and enjoy the results.
Coverage
If matte spots appear on a 5 × 5 cm (0.25 dm²) test area and 3 ml/L is added, the electrolyte typically deposits glossy again for approx. 1 hour.
Tip
For consistently glossy results, check the electrolyte regularly and top up at the first signs of dullness. This extends bath life and lowers operating costs.
