Very seldom do I come across a Photoshop tutorial that doesn't assume some artistic eyes to complete the effect shown in the tutorial. When I came across this tutorial, I was skeptical as to how detailed it would be, and how easy it would be to repeat the effect. Well worry not.
Photoshop Roadmap has nailed it with this tutorial titled Realistic Chrome and Glossy Plastic Text Effect. The tutorial is both simple and detailed, requiring no special filters and only a simple download of a small preset file (if you want to avoid any guess work).

It is funny, you are the only one that mentions about my commitment of explaining everything as much as I can.
I try to create everything using Photoshop default installation tools. If you check my blog you will see some other tutorials with this kind of approach.
Of course, I can't always be so descriptive and in some cases I have to point to external resources to achieve some parts of the effect, but that's what I try.
Thanks again for your kind comments.

Sorry for a dumb question,
