Out of curiosity are any household cleaners safe on chrome (spoke) wheels and chrome pipes? I've heard of people using 409 on all the chrome, but I'm not sure and I don't want to risk it without asking first. I have 409 multi-surface at home I'm not sure if its the same as the original 409

 

Read this. Chrome is one of the recommended surfaces for this product.

 

I use Captain Richards Best for the entire bike Chrome,paint,& windshield!!
It shines too

 

Pledge

 

Is pledge more of a polish vs a cleaner? If anyone has any other suggestions feel free to add

 

Pledge all surface cleaner is great, comes in a greensh/blue colored aerosol can.

 

windex, it says it right there on the spray bottle

 

Why worry about it, spend the $5 on a bottle of Mothers Chrome Polish (works as a cleaner too). It will last you at least a whole season, unless you never ride and only clean/ polish.

 

For a quick clean and polish, S100

 

I've used TurtleWax Chrome Polish for years. The stuff will clean chrome, and even removes surface rust, like magic. Rub on, buff off, and voila! Shines like crazy!
