Have you ever tried mothers products from your local auto parts store.It is a very exellent product and the price is not hard on the billfold either. I use the chrome and the aluminum polish.

I've used it......didn't do anything for me, above or beyond Mothers.

I've tried many ( a lot actually since I also have a sailboat..) and nothing beats Autosol so far . It is an oldie, used mainly for airplanes but if you want aluminum to shine like chrome, this is a good one to use if you polish by hand.

I also found last winter that a bench grinder with medium and soft polishing wheels gives great results with the coumpounds they sell . At Home Depot they have 6 grades, the finer being to polish jewels ( but a motorcycle is sometimes our jewel, right ? ;-)

I have but one thing to say...Simichrome.

I have used, and enjoyed, Mother's in the past, but I have more recently been using Diamond Brite Truck Box Polish. I found it at Lowe's, right next to the diamond-plate truck utility boxes. Not real cheap, about $12 for an 8-ounce bottle, but it works really well.

I have recently finished painting and polishing my wife's bike ('82 850GL). The paint was done professionally, but I removed all the covers from the engine, polished them on a bench grinder, then touched them up by hand with the Diamond Brite. The bike gets looks wherever it stops, people just can not believe that it's 24 years old.

You can now see the results in the gallery.
