Default waxes

What is a good wax & chrome cleaner to use? Any consideration on chrome cleaners on parts that get hot?

I've used Prowler on paint and chrome. Cleans and waxes, or at least I think it does, and looks great.

I tryed alot of different stuff but really what works best for me is the Harley stuff. I even detail bikes on the side and I feel its worth the money and saves me time, and I can trust it. I haven't had any complaints from my customers and recieve alot of comments on how nice my bike looks.

We've been using Mother's Chrome Polish and it works well. McGuiar's Quick Detail is great for touching up the bikes. Haven't needed to wax mine with anything yet.
