No problem Don.  I keep chlorine away from the bike & cars myself as to cleaners.  Switched our pool to salt & now generate chlorine for that, like it much better than shocking BTW.

I use Adams Waterless Wash after every ride, then Stoners Invisible Glass foaming glass cleaner...it also really helps to have a J&S Jack.  It makes cleaning very easy!

I got a foam cleaner for chrome car wheels. All I do is spray on then hose off. It's Meguiars Hot Rims Chrome Cleaner.

Just a heads up.....

I have a bottle I bought a few years ago that I use for the car. It specifically states on the back of the bottle not safe for motorcycle or aftermarket wheels. Not sure why, I don't know what's in it but I do know it's pretty potent stuff and works great on chrome car rims.

I do a detailed wipe cleaning every 3500 miles or so.  I jack the bike up and use windex and a microfiber for a good shine.  When I wash the bike, I use the same wash/wax that I use for the rest of the bike.  I guess if the chrome wheels haven't been cleaned in a long time it may take a little more elbow grease.

Most chrome wheel cleaners contain corrosive materials to help cut grime and brake pad dust. These products can discolor aluminum. Guess just to be on the safe side they assume most mag wheels and motorcycle wheels are polished aluminum.
