RE: Cleaning Chrome
I use a product called Blue Magic, "Metal Polish Cleaner for Chrome, Aluminum and Mag Wheels" It works real well. Lots of pressure for really dirty parts with a very soft rag and then to REALLY make it shine I buff it out with the buffer biton my Dremel! Have to wear sunglasses just to look at it! There's lots of different things for the chrome, but we like this one. What I want to know is how to "buff" out scratches?

Me too, that's good chit.... Takes off marks and crap that sticks to the chrome... Will do amazing things on aluminum too... Brings the shine from the dullest of stuff..

RE: Cleaning Chrome
Deep Chrome is what I use lately. Pricey stuff, but I really think mcguires wax like Gold Class works just as well. They also have a new line of stuff they market to themotorcycle market, including a wax with "wet look"- good on chrome and paint as well. Now that it's spring, there will be lots of green pollen build up so no sense in keeping it too clean....

RE: Cleaning Chrome
I use Mother's chrome polish for a while, the only problem is the left over polish on the allen head bolts, you have to use tooth brush to clean them after. Now I just use windex and it works fine, clean is clean.

RE: Cleaning Chrome
Chrome?????.............What's that? Well I got a little and like said before glass cleaner and microfiber rag. Aerosol glass cleaner works the best for some reason.
