    Cleaning blinker housing

    Does anyone out there know how to clean/polish the apparent dull patches and corrosion off the chrome coloured plastic on the back of the blinkers? I would like to make them shiny, but not damage the surface while doing it and end up with a permanently dull surface.
    Picture attached.

    BUSCHS SUPER SHINEY ALUMINUM POLISH. Put it on a rag and buff it like its a shoe shining project. then buff to a nice shine the same way withn a clean rag. PS it also works well to polish up the plastic brake lens, that yellowing oxidation on chrome, the turn signal plastic lenses...a wet rag with just a touch of toothpaste will polish up the plastic as well.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      I ended up using a product available here in Australia called BRASSO. It's been around for years and it did a reasonable job of polishing up the plastic chrome.
