What's exactly the difference between POLISHED and CHROME exterior finish?. Which one it is the best quality?

Polished is simply just that, polished aluminum and closely resembles a hazy mirror. The VN815 comes in a Chrome PVD finish which is a powder coat painted finish that looks like chrome. Polished wheels can always be polished back out, minor scuffs and scratches can be fixed. On the chrome finish, there is nothing that can be done to fix the finish from scuffs and scratches. Polished wheels do require regular polishing to maintain the finish where chrome wheels do not.

Hello,Polished is when the metal is buffed at high speeds until it has a shiny or chrome like finish. Chrome is a chemical dipping process that is done to the wheel. Polished seems to have more longevity. You can always re polish a polished wheel. If chrome starts to peel or pit you really can not do much to revive it.Please let me know if you have any further questions.Thank you Jason

Yes, it is chrome finish, a little difficult to put together because it doesn't come with directions.

The one in the picture is a shiny chrome finish. The one I received however, was not the one in the picture. The one I got in the mail has a flat, grey like finish.

BRUSHED, definitely. I wanted high polished chrome, but it only came in the muted silver (or I guess you could call it brushed aluminum). - terrific lamp, though!

Both of mine came in chrome, which is what I wanted. I didn't realize the the drain assembly came in different finishes.

Mine was silver (polished chrome)- it may come in both finishes, so check what it says when in the cart

No, I bought polished chrome and it is shinny. The other one is gray without shine.

If you are looking for a brushed finished then vibrant stainless will be what you are looking for. Whatever you do, do not get chrome. Hope this helps

Brushed Finish is not shiny, it's dull satin finish. Polished Stainless Steel would be shiny. Kind Regards!

Yes the stainless is like brushed nickel minus the gold tint in brushed nickel, If you have brushed nickel faucets then the silver will go nicely. The chrome is nice as well, the quality is the same on both. And Yes chrome is shiny and brushed is well brushed! :) http://qualitytubandtile.com/?p=1739Purchased all finishes and probably my favorite is stainless.Enjoy,Jeff WoodingQuality Tub and Tile

The "BC" refers to the "brushed chrome" finish. It's the silver-grey color, but it's just the color of the plastic, it's not really meta. I think it looks nicer than the white, but it's not that big a deal.

Believe the only difference is the chrome like finish. Recommend checking mfr's website to make sure.

Strange- no its definitely chrome. We accidentally ordered two and the seller wants to charge us a restocking fee- let me know if you'd be interested in buying from us- we'd give you a discount from the regular price.... But as far as the hand held goes- we like it a lot. It has nice pressure and has a good weight in your hand. We can send you photos of our installed one as well as the extra one we have if you like.... Garrpat@aol.com Thanks!

Well, stainless has a bluer look than chrome. It might look nice if you have a chrome faucet. Then those would match. This does come in other finishes as well. I believe stainless is one of the finishes. So it just depends on what you want the look to be.

Hi, sorry but chrome is the only finish I have for this unit. Thanks, Kathy

Don't believe it will polish to a "chrome like" finish. It did a decent job on my stainless steel sink but, again, it did need a lot of rubbing. You will definitely see a difference but NOT a chrome polish difference. Basically, I would give it a B - or C+.
