Tried the lemon pledge on the bow of a boat once and only once.  It shined beautiful, but after stepping over the windshield and slipping on the shiny new surface and falling in the water I decided pledge is too slick.  Never tried it on a bike.

On clean, already shiny chrome I use either Protectall or S100 Spray Detailer.  If it needs cleaning, I use Simichrome Polish.

I have always used windex on my chrome on all my vehicles,On windshields that are real buggy if you soak a paper towl with windex and lay it on the shields they will come off without scratching.As far as the paint goes I won a can of Honda polish on a poker run one year ,everybody laughed and said what are you going to do with that so I put it on the shelf for about 5 years.One day I ran into a friend of mine that has more vehicles than a museum,he had just ordered a case of Honda spray wax and told me that is all he ever used,oh and he owned a detail shop,now I use it on my bikes and cars quick easy and works great!!

I think that the ultimate chrome cleaning agent is a cheap simple can of Never-Dull costs about $2 and it cleans everything from rust to dirt and there are no harsh abrasives.

skydiverbob, Like some of the other guys I use neverdull(made by eagle one) on my chrome if it needs a little extra attention, but I mostly use a product called Plexus. I have used it since I got my 95 Heritage and now I use it on my 09 SEUC. It makes the chrome look fantastic, it makes the paint shine and feel absolutely smooth and it is easy to put on and off. It is also great on windshields and plastic.(www.PlexusPlasticCleaner.com). I usually pay about $10.00 for a 13 oz. spray can which lasts a long time. CAHDBIKER

   I use SIMICHROME POLISH. A trucker in Ohio turned my boy onto it for cleaning his chrome and polishing his aluminum on his 74 Dodge Challenger. Also Zips Harley in Gaylord, Michigan where I bought my bike from uses it to detail there bikes. My brothers girl friend used it on the mirrors and boards and was very satisfied with the way it cleaned and shined both.        Chilly
