Download The Chrome Policy Remover
Sandrine Willert
All installed Chrome policies can be viewed on this web page chrome://policy (and not chrome://policies). That is for Chrome Enterprise and Eductation department to know what Chrome Enterprise Policy is overrided. Chrome Policy is for Admin of a company or school to force default values by setting his corresponding cloud policies. For example to set the default home page to his intern company/school website. And or block outside domains such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.
For the users on his Chrome web browser, you read this Chrome Policy list in your web browser. But there is no uninstall or remove button for regular users to get that specific policy from your Chrome web browser. That there is the Chrome Policy Remover tool, which removes all the policies in your Chrome web browser. So those bad policies will not control how you must use the web browser.
I found some weird policies on my chrome by visiting chrome://policy/ (or about:policy), like ExtensionInstallSources or ExtensionInstallWhitelist. I though it may be from some virus because on other machines with a clean chrome install the policies are empty.
Also, as others have indicated, I tried it too and uninstalling and reinstalling Google Chrome will NOT work, as the "Managed" and "policy" settings are stored elsewhere. They may be stored in multiple sub-folders named "Managed Extension Settings" or "Policy", for instance, here: /home/MY_USERNAME/.config/google-chrome.
I just noticed that Google Chrome says "Your browser is managed by your organization" even though I am on my personal computer. How do I remove this? I checked "chrome://policy" and this is what it says:
If you are not using a work computer or part of any organization, it is likely a third-party program or custom policy conflict. Some antivirus programs can also cause this problem with their web protection features.
I made a kind of weird discovery yesterday. I cleaned my stainless steel Platinum Stages pole with non-acetone nail polish remover (I think it's called "Pretty Nails") and it made the pole waaay grippier than anythinig else I've tried (i.e. dish soap, alcohol, vinegar, 409, etc.). I tried the nail polish remover on a whim. I didn't really think it would be too great, since I've read elsewhere that it has moisturizing ingredients, but it definately surprised me. I had an awesome practice with the super grippiness!
Q. I have recently been given some rims that the chrome plating on the Aluminum rims is peeling off. I am wondering if there is another way other than [on eBay orAmazon] which eats the aluminum. I have tested this on a chrome plated thermostat housing and the results were not good. First it wasn't long enough in the acid then I tried it again after cleaning it off then I let it sit for 15 min and it turned it black it cleaned up after sanding but was pitted and no longer usable I have also tried a grinder and am afraid to go too far and hit the aluminum. Please help if you have any info.
Q. I have the same problem, and I cannot find out how to remove the chrome but so far I been peeling some off, but can't get the rest, I'm going to go to couple body shops and ask, but anyone else has a comment bout them reply here. thanks
A. Reverse current in 15% sulfuric acid will remove the chrome and underlying nickel without damage to the aluminum, but I don't think you want to do this at home. Most plating shops can easily do this for you.
A. Hi Bh,
You need to estimate the surface area of the wheel or other object in square feet. 20 amps per square foot of surface area should be enough to dissolve that metallic chrome and turn it into the toxic, carcinogenic, hexavalent chromium that made Erin Brockovich famous. You ought to think about how you will get rid of that hexavalent chromium.
I think a better approach is to dissolve the chrome into hydrochloric acid (which generates trivalent chromium, which is not toxic) and then strip the nickel with Metalx (Ronatec.us) [a finishing.com supporting advertiser]

(affil links)A. Sandblasting [portable sandblasters on eBay orAmazon] is going to be the easiest and safest way to remove the chrome with minimal pitting and material removal.
If you don't have sandblasting gear, check with your local welding shops and see if they can help you out.
A. I remember when I wanted to take chrome off my bicycle wheel I would put fire to it (direct fire) the chrome would peel and was easily scraped off. Sand and paint.
I'm about to do some rims off my truck from chrome to polished.
! Hi, Edwin. Thanks for joining in and helping. But I don't think I can agree. Maybe you successfully burned off shiny chrome-look paint? I personally strongly doubt you can remove real nickel and chrome plating from aluminum wheels that way.
Well, that makes it two against one then and I'm overruled ... but at least I get to say "told ya so" when a reader is unhappy with the result :-)

Q. Can anyone help: my car wheels are chrome plated; one has started to peel and it's peeling off like wall paper.
The other 3 wheels are fine but now I have 1 bad one can anyone help with ideas for a D-I-Y strip that won't damage the wheel underneath the chrome.
The wheel that has started to peel has what looks like a nice smooth black paint underneath so if I could get the chrome off myself I won't have to get them repainted as I wanted them black as the chrome is terrible.
Any help would be great. Cheers ROB
A. Hi Robert. If there's black paint underneath, they are certainly are not chrome electroplated. Sounds like shiny chrome-look paint or PVD "Chrome" (probably actually aluminum). Sorry I don't know how to reliably remove whatever it is except by blasting, which will almost surely wreck the existing "paint".Regards,
Q. I recently bought a set of Keystone Klassic rims which were chipped scuffed and the chrome was peeling on all of them. I work at my dad's repair shop and stayed after hours to try different ways to get it off, and so far have been somewhat unsuccessful. I tried sand-blasting them, and it worked great to take off the majority of the chrome, but had minimal effect on the sides and edges which weren't peeling. I used a resin pad on an air tool to remove the rest on one but it left the aluminum shiny and chrome-like, I am now trying to find a better way to rough up the smoothed aluminum while also looking for a different method of removal. I was wondering if there are more abrasive mixtures available for the sand-blasting method (other than glass beads)that anyone has any experience with. or maybe a cleaner that will help. (P.S. the repair shop my dad owns is strictly mechanical, body repair is just hobby of my own, so I have limited resources of which to use) Any ideas?
Q. I have a set of eagle alloys wheels that I will be powder coating. I run a powder coating business and these are my personal wheels. The wheels are flaking pretty badly. I had my industrial blasting shop try blasting the chrome/nickel off it took far too long to get through the layers. I need an effective way to remove the plating from the wheels. I have contacted the local plating shop here but they said they would have to ship the wheels out to be stripped down. Is there a proper way that I can do this myself? I have lots of experience and the proper PPE for handling chemicals. So if anyone can tell me where I can get the stuff to strip these down I would be very appreciative. The reason I need them stripped to bare metal is because of the pitting in the aluminum, I need to correct this in order to powder coat them. If there is any more information that I need to provide please ask I will gladly answer anything I can. The wheels are aluminum, when blasting it was determined that there is chrome/nickel/copper on them. I was able to watch the layers expose themselves when blasting.
Thanks,

Q. Hey guys, basically same question most everyone is asking. "How do I strip the chrome off"
I got a set of aluminum wheels that are chrome plated. I'm the kinda guy like some that triss to do it all on a budget. Not the biggest fan of chrome and I want to black out these wheels. Would it be worth my effort to just have the wheels powdercoated black or spend countless hours trying to strip them my elf to then paint my self!

A. Hey I found a really easy, quick and kinda cool way to remove chrome by accident. I was at work using my brand new chrome, Matco wrenches when I got battery corrosion on the 13 mm. So of course, what's right in front of me: battery terminal cleaner [on eBay orAmazon] Sweet, it comes right off...OH FUDGE (but the other word, lol) my chrome's gone too! So yeah anyways, battery terminal cleaner.
A. This was most likely not due to the cleaner but due to the sulfuric acid in the battery corrosion. Sulfuric acid is used in chrome removal as well as car batteries. You can use sulfuric acid [oneBay orAmazon] to remove chrome by submerging your part in it and hooking up a car battery to the part. The negative terminal or cathode. Hook the anode or positive terminal to a lead bar or just something lead and submerging that to. Watch it bubble. Check the part regularly and be careful this stuff is dangerous! It's called electrolysis and is the reverse of how they chrome plate. Thanks.
Hi Charles. Thanks. You have correctly identified the cathode as the negative terminal (I like the mnemonic aid 'andode & canthode' to help remember the plus & minus), but you have the terminals reversed in your description because the item you want to de-plate must be connected to the positive terminal so electrons are removed from it causing the metal to convert to positively charged ions.Even dismissing the dangers of sulfuric acid, remember that while chrome metal is harmless, electrolytically removing it converts it to hexavalent chrome, the stuff that made Erin Brockovich famous :-(Regards,
