Default Cleaning the triple trees

My triple trees are starting to show some weather on my 07 superglide. Any good cleaners out there that you use?

I use Honda spray & Polish, available from any Honda Motorcycle dealership. Great stuff and works to clean virtually any surface other than denin.

Any good aluminum polish should work.

Mothers, Flitz, Simichrome, Never Dull etc., any of them will clean the oxidation and dullness right off and give you a brilliaant chrome like shine.

Tried quite a few and currently using Meguiar,s all metal polish. Its the best i,ve used, goes on easy, finishes with a great shine which seems to last.

+1 on this. You need to get some rubbin on and your application rag will be black, so pretty much keep rubbing till it's not black anymore, or till you're happy with the shine. You can make them look like chrome depending how hard you want to work on it. Less effort with meguires then I had with mothers! But any of these polishes listed will do great. Once you get them shinny keep shinning them once or twice a month so it will be less work rubbing.

I'm kinda partial to Mothers myself. I've tried quite a few and none have given me the results I wanted. Mothers takes a little more elbow grease, but thats half the fun. I even used it with a buffing wheel when I polished the lowers (yes JoeK, I made a mess). Turned out to be easier than using rouge
