Buschs Super Shine Aluminum Polish..its the whip on chrome too. No hard scrubbing...rub it in and the surface rust just goes away. Wipe it and polish it to a great shine.

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.Comment

What chrome are you trying to clean? Sounds to me like you're refering to aluminum parts.sigpic

What about the forks? What is best to polish them?Comment

Semi-chrome for chrome and I use fine grade steel wool for aluminum, that is once you get the old yellowed weathered clear coat off, and the steel wool will take that off too, but it does take time.sigpic

I've been using Mother's for years. It is just as good on chrome as it is on aluminum. I use it for the final polishing of the parts that I do, graduating from 00, 000, 0000 steel wool on to flannel. The removal of weathered clear coat is the easy part.....no paper and no steel wool.Comment

It can polish up a lot of stuff, but I really love Simichrome.Comment

I found good results can be acheived with Britemax easy cut followed by Meguiars NXT metal polishes and elbow grease.
I did some tatty original 250 headers and they look great.
