I've used Mothers California Gold Chrome Polish with great success over the years. It also has a lot to do with a quality, metal specific, microfiber cloth. For a quick clean and wipe down my go to is Boardwalk Titan Stainless Steel Cleaner, and you can use it on the paint as well with no ill effect to removing any waxes, sealants or polishes.

Caution with the polish in the chrome....
The chrome never must be polished.....

You can polish normal metal and If you polish a lot of, more shiny. But the chrome, if you polish a lot of and strong, the chrome turn of and the shiny disappears.


Yes, in chrome we can use polish, but very softy, only to remove points of rust, humidity and stains from the hard water or others. With a good maintenance of the chrome pieces, its not necessary use polish or similars (of course, we must use a good shampoo for cars/bikers and always and very important, dry off the bike).

Wholeheartedly agree with Turtle.

Have been using Turtle Wax Chrome polish for years. When I bought this ultra the previous owner's wife melted her boot on the left side down pipe. The HD dealer didn't even have ***** enough to try and remove it. A little turtle on a rag and some elbow grease and patience and about 5 minutes later BOOM, clean and you can't even tell.
