Triple tree care and shine.
I have a 2007 WG and for the life of me can't figure out whether my triple trees are sort of dull chrome or polished aluminum.
What do you guys use to keep your front end looking stout? Is there a special polish for those bad boys? Chrome polish or Mother's aluminum polish?
Help me out pls...

RE: Triple tree care and shine.
yea, they're polishd alum. and require constant polishing. i've used most metal polishes and believe there is so little difference in them it hardly matters. polishing them only gets the tarnish off. the alum. remains unprotected and tarnishes again. use some wax after polishing to protect it.

Yes they are a pin to keep polished. I have to do mine again. Im thinking of using ZoopSeal like the Hot Rodders use on their billet parts. It helps to keep aluminum from tarnishing for much longer. I've never tried it, but have heard it works well.

I wonder if Flitz would work? They use them on S&W stainleass steel revolvers..shines 'em up real nice. I've heard nothing but good things about it.
