I used this product on my console to remove two small water spots(?) and it scratched the finish. The product says it has no abrasives in it but it left fine scratches in the chrome.
Now I have to buy a new console. I'll never use anything that even resembles an abrasive product on my chrome ever again. If you were to look at my console you would think I was crazy because you can't see the scratches unless the light hits it right and then you can see the fine scratches in the chrome.

Unless somebody sprinkled sand in this product sitting on the shelf in Walmart, I would not use this product on chrome.
This is the Nevr-dull by Eagle.

I thought never dul was for polishing aluminum uncoated parts to remove oxidation and bring back shine?

I use Wenol blue for chrome or similar grit-less petro based polish with a micro fiber towel. 
I will usually clean chrome with wd40 1st, wiping until the blue goes away, then polish.  It seems to last longer after the wd-40 prep.

They claim it is safe for chrome. Some places on the web it says the product has no abrasives in it and in another place it will say it has mild abrasives.

Needless to say i would not have use it if I had known it had abrasives in it. I'm posting this to let anybody know that does a search that this product scratches chrome.

I too, found out the hard way that Nevr-dull scratches chrome.  Best to use the stuff on polished metal only, and keep it way from chrome.  I use it on the polished surfaces of the Sporty, and that scoot looks great when I'm done......except for the chrome piece I used it on.  Live and learn.

Thanks for your report.  I have used it a lot on the polished metal parts and on chrome.   Is the chrome used on aluminum parts different from chrome used on steel parts?  (I keep telling myself as I'm typing this that only the unasked questions are the stupid ones  )

I know the "chrome" used on plastic is different -- more fragile.  We picked up a sporty for my wife this summer, and it had rust on the mufflers and heat shields.  It cleaned right up with SOS pads and water.  No scratches whatsoever, and that is with steel wool!

Wondering if the difference is "old chrome" versus "new chrome". eg: "old chrome " plated in US - " new chrome" plated in China - ?

Thanks for the tip.. I'll stick with windex

didn't I read somewhere that Windex has ammonia in it and that was not good for certain bike surfaces (ie: windscreen, ) ?  spyder

You'll find it cheaper to have your console re-chromed and with better chrome than the factory console.  I plan on sending a ton of chrome this winter off to be re-done since MoCo chrome is crap!

HeHe! Where have I heard that before?

I've never read it until now, however wise, old, bikers have taught me to stay away from Windex with ammonia.  They do make an ammonia free Windex, which receives a verticle head nod from the wise, old, bikers.  Personally, I like the ammonia free Windex wipes.  They pack easy in a saddlebag, and make post ride bug removal very easy.

Who do you recommend for chrome plating?

I don't know of anyone.  Perhaps a Google search of "Chrome Platers" would help you find someone close to you.
