I use Windex to clean and polish with Turtle Wax Ice or Harley Glaze. I heard not to use Windex due to ammonia but I've used it for years without issue.

I might give Pledge a try, it is afterall just a spray wax.

I love my Pledge. But I use Orange Pledge all over between washes and waxes. I also use Turtle Wax Ice when I wax. I like it because it can be used on black plastic parts. Windex on the chrome for quick wipes.

Makes the brake levers and other alum parts look like they are chrome too.

I ran out of Simi-chrome polish an was in my local NAPA store and picked up some Blue Majic polish. I read it leaves a slight silicone after finished polishing. So far i find after initial application, my chrome requires less attention.
