Chrome cleaning

[FLHX14]

I am going over all my chrome before the season starts. I wish I had kept up with it better in a few "tight" spots!

Anyway, I am wondering if someone recommends a tool(power or not) that will not burn paint, "sling" cleaner all over the hard to reach spots of the wrinkle black around the power trains, and not tear up whatever tool it is that you use? Or is good old elbow grease the best bet?

Thanks and Happy Spring! We got new snow!

I have heard the s100 is great on dirt and grime on the black cases, I have NOT tried it.

Not really it leaves a white residue that's really had to get rid of. Almost looks faded.

+1 Blue- I am not a s100 fan as it does leave a residue on some surfaces. I only use Slick Mist and Bug Slide on the surfaces of my scoot (with great results!)

Nothing beats foaming glass cleaner for shiny chrome

I have and it really does work. The little spray tip included gives a lot of control.

I am surprised to see negatives about s100. I have always liked the results.

I used it on my old Gixxer and loved it. I used it on my glide last summer and really did not think it worked that well on brake dust or bugs and it did not work well with the wrinkle black engine and trans case.

Does this fade the wrinkle black? Thanks.

This is what we used at the dealership, we would buy cases of the NAPA brand.

This is what I use as well but by hand! I need a tool to save my fingers!!

Windex is a good way to shine up your chrome.
