Has any of you used a product called White Diamond metal polish? It says it removes oxidation but I've heard mixed reviews on it. Some people say it's great some people say it's scratch their Chrome. I'm not trying to use it on Chrome only on my aluminum lower Forks. any input would be great. Thanks

Had the same condensation issue in my plywood floored unheated garage. I now keep the bike in a semi heated garage on cement floor with no issues. like someone else stated it is the huge temperature changes that will create the condensation fogging ( not oxidation ! ) on your chrome etc. I tried the cover with lightbulb, no cover, cover without light bulb and nothing worked in the unheated garage. Too much temperature variation for anything to stop the issue , at least in the unheated garage.

I've got all 3 of our bikes up on jacks and off the concrete in my unheated, attached garage. Covered, but with the breathable shipping covers that HD sends bikes to the dealer with to keep the dust off.
