I go to the local TA(truck stop) and buy what ever they have there. I can normally buy it in a gallon, and its about 20 bucks tops.

**** works great

I also have a buffing wheel, and the white bar

A lot of things can be used to
Polish chrome. Why not use a product that's made specifically for the job. I second the Mothers chrome polish. Goes on on easy and wipes of easy. Mothers chrome polishes contains polymers, which coat the chrome with a protective residue creating a barrier between it and unwanted smudges.

I use the generic form of lemon furniture polish on my bike and customer's bikes when I get done working on them. Some people don't belive how well it works till I show them.

Yea. Recently learned the old school hot rodders would pledge the WHOLE car before it was time to cruise or hang out at their car spot. Never've done it before but they claim works and have done it for years.
