I assumed all this time it was from the chrome demo.

Oh, I've just seen this thread … great work !

@Irinikus : If you want to quick clean and retopo your object in Blender, I recommand you Quad Remesh. It's an incredible retopo tool that make miracles on ugly mesh.
I've never regrete the price I've paid for it - It's a must have for Blender.

I've tried Quad Remesher on this and here's the result:

@Shiunbird, to answer the question that you asked me in the Youtube comments, as to whether you could use Quad Remesher only on a selection of vertices to save time.

I selected the following vertices on the front face of the model and applied Quad Remesher:

Here's the result:

The whole model was still converted to quads, and I left it with default settings to show you how much of the geometric information is lost with the lower default settings!

A high density mesh, "one with a high vertex count", is extremely difficult to work with by hand.

Even with the high vertex count like that which I demonstrated in the video, there is still a large loss geometric information across the surfaces, which will take forever to sort out through manual editing, so in essence, it will actually take more time to properly sort out!

This evening I worked on the right hand side of the model as well as the lower right hand edge.

Here's how it originally looked:

Here are the corrections I made:

Today I finished up the bottom edge: (It took most of the day to complete!)

Some more work on this, with the aid of Red Bull!
