Well, it is winter time.... Which means it is time to clean the bikes. So does anyone have a suggestion for a good dual purpose cleaner for chrome and polished aluminum? The stuff I use now loses its glimmer within hours, and basically leaves a dull finish.

Query approved.
but if someone suggests you something here, would that be available in US? I doubt.(Been There Done That) x 3.25

Home Remedy - Use wet tamarind (the one that's used for cooking). Works like a charm. Soak the tamarind in water and use the "sludge" to scrub off grime and restore the shine to those chrome plated parts.
Other alternative - Brasso (if i am not wrong). This is used for polishing brass and antique articles but would probably work well on chrome too. I haven't tried brasso, and if you must, please do so at your own risk. :PATGATT - Because hospital ceilings are boring !!!Comment

Silvo, not Brasso. Its available even in US as well as in India. It shines well & easy to clean, but can't be used on Aluminium as there're no visible results.Originally posted by n_aditya View PostSkill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

A product (yellow tube) available in India called as Brito...worked very well for me. Also rubbed it on the grill of a vintage Toyota Super saloon. Was very happy with the result.Comment

Re: Chrome Cleaner
Use a wad of aluminium foil dipped in coke (carbonated cola any brand) and scrub chromed surfaces. Works like a charm.Originally posted by Motorcycle View PostComment

Re: Chrome Cleaner
Brasso and Brito looks very similar when they are squeezed out - a pinkish colored liquid and it works wonders. I have used both and it served well.Originally posted by Motorcycle View PostMy DIY(s) - Sprocket bearing change | Paint job | Custom speedo dial
Getting angry at somebody is the same as getting angry with a bike that just won't go. You should stop and start thinking.

It is funny to know that we've been imitated and copied so well and surprising when we notice our mistakes are copied as well.Comment
