Step 10Polishing
Because the pickle leaves sort of a matte finish, I polished my chain. Because I have one, I drop my chain in a tumbler polishe--mine is a little rotary Lortone. It looks like the old rock tumbler my sister had when she was a kid, except it is filled with stainless steel nails and shot, along with some water and dish soap. After 10-20 minutes, the chain comes out looking spectacular.

It's worth noting here that chain should always be polished like this, in a tumbler; or by buffing by hand with some fine steel wool. NEVER polish chain on a buffing wheel! It can easily get wrapped around the spindle and turn into a metal whip.
