I picked up a set of (Don't laugh) Pimp Stixxx at the bike show.....Damn these things are cool- no more using a screwdriver with a rag---They come with a microfiber cloth, but I can really get into the nooks and crannies (Especially between the fins)...and I use them with the polish lace material (Lustre lace I think)....

Worth the 20 bucks...

I use "Never Dull" wadding chrome polish. This stuff is great. I've used it for years on all my vehicle chrome.

You can pick it up at Wal-Mart.



Cleans and polishes all metals including silver, gold, brass, copper, pewter, glass, steel, aluminum and chromium. Removes rust and corrosion instantly. Removes rust and tar from autos and motorcycle chrome. Leaves no deposits in the crevices of metal work. This Never Dull Polish is one of many top quality items in our Metal Polishes department.

Yeah Pirate---That is the price.....There is even a pointy tool that works inside hex head bolts....All the rods are threaded internally aluminum tubes...all the actual "probes" are plastic- no nicks, scratches,etc.

Love 'em
