By the way, Use Mothers alum and mag polish on your levers and controls, they will shine like chrome.

Everything. If the chrome gets really icky looking I'll get out the chrome polish, but for quick cleaning Lemon Pledge it is!

I've been hearing this for years... With the advancements in spray wax and liquid "paste wax" solutions there is no need to be using something that is designed to work on wood. I've always found it too be real greasy, like worse then carnauba wax.

I'm far from a stickler on cleanliness so I use some aerosol glass cleaner and blue cotton rag I snag from work. Does a good enough just if there isn't any heavy stuff, make chrome look good.
