best way to strip a dash bezel

If you plan to rechrome it, sanding has already added details that aren't good.
I have a custom soak tank containing 7 gallons of Wesleys Bleech-White.
Sure some sanding is required where I repair or modify the plastic. To get the smooth surface required for chrome I buy foam blocks with different grits of finishing paper. These are meant/sold for use on finger nails. Actually, i should have said a whole lot of sanding.
