Default Chrome Pollish?

What brand do you use? I use mothers. the shine is great and it is forgiving if you get some on the black.


Why do use your brand?

Windex, I cannot make chrome shinier with any type of polish, just keep them clean.

I use the regular old Turtle Wax Chrome Polish with Rust Remover..

Been using it for around 185 years I think.

I'll bet the can I have right now (just looking at it) is at least 15 years old. The outside of the can has rust all over it, but the polish still works fine.

Guess I should use some of it to polish the can.. [8D]

Blue Magic Metal Polish Cream. The stuff is awesome. Expensive, but great. Gets the junk out of the chrome and seals it.

A paint spraying friend of mine said not to wax your painted parts of your bike..just in case it needed re-spraying (contaminates the paint,and hard to get rid of)....T/cut instead.

I have not used any chrome polish.

I just keep it clean.

Do you think that is a problem?

In South Florida with the sun and the bugs, it is necessary to protect the paint so it doesn't need to be resprayed. My bike is 10 yrs old and the paint looks great.

Fine....just hope you don't get a deep scratch....silicone wax won't mix with paint.
