is neverdull that abrasive?
I read a post that stated a "guy rubbed off his chrome by using Neverdull all the time". Is this true? I love the stuff and I do use it quite a bit, but if its abrasive like that I'm cutting down on it.
any info would be great.

I find it hard to believe that it will rub off your chrome being it is made of cotton. I've been useing #0000 steel wool to clean my chrome, and it's a lot coarser than Never Dull.
Possibly a myth.

From what I can tell Nevr-Dull uses chemicals to clean. When its done its job why keep using it?
As for a normal road grime, a normal wash should work. Chrome is a thin plating just like clearcoat is a thin coating. You dont want to use abrasives and more than necessary.

I can tell you from experience being I spent 6 years in the Marines and they use neverdull on all their brass and chrome I have never seen it take chrome off what it does is works all the grime out of the pours of the metal I seriously doubt it would wear out your chrome. now if you polish with an abrasive cloth that's another story over time so I'd polish with a soft cloth and I doubt you would ever have to worry that stuff rocks.

Polishing chrome is a waste of time. It won't get any shinier from polishing, like aluminum, brass, or stainless steel. All you need to do is keep it clean. Regular bike washing will take care of that. Good glass cleaner is about all you need to wipe off the water spots left over after a wash.

I have seen chrome plated pieces (after market chroming) that was so thin it was rubbed away.

I use it to remove the road tar and other stubborn road/bug/asphalt junk off the engine/primary (Softail Standard-no chrome) it shines up the brushed alum quit well.

I've used Nevrdull forever... well at least since 1978 (joined the Navy then). Always thought it did a good job, just required a bit more elbow grease than anything else. Recently my neighbor (retired paint and body guy) turned me on to some ZEP 5-Star Polish. That stuff is da bomb! It cleans and polishes better than Nevrdull without a tenth of the rubbing. Directions even tell you to apply with - get this - a paper towel. I used those blue shop towels when I tried it out and I'm going to continue to use that stuff. It's better than ANY OTHER chrome polish I've tried from Turtlewax to Mothers to S100 and beyond. The stuff really works well.
