Chrome Polish

What are you all using to clean up your chrome? I've tried a few different products, and I keep getting a hazy appearance on all the chromed plastic. Any suggestions?

Two dealers highly recommended to me Honda Spray Cleaner and Polish; seems to work great on chrome and paint. Cleans pretty well, and has carnuba for the polish. Been using it for awhile and pretty happy with it.

Ive been using maguires gold class liquid wax and a microfiber towel, I just started to use the micro fiber towel and really love it.

I just did some quick research online, and there are a lot of people who have a lot of good things to say about the stuff. Just placed an order for 4 cans. Hope this gets rid of the haze! Thanks!

i have tried many products on this bike! finally stuck with Meguiars Carnauba Wax, on paint and chrome. no more hazy. there nXt works great to but its a little more expensive.

I use a quick detailer to get rid of any haze.

The best chrome polish I ever used is Maas metal polish. It makes the chrome pop. I recommend you give it a try.

Honda Cleaner keeps mine looking new.

FLFury · Aug 18, 2009

I used Windex like PREDATOR for years on all my bikes, worked great as a quick detailer.

However, my Honda dealer turned me onto the Honda Spray Polish (like $5 a can) and it works AWESOME!!! Also works better than most waxes at protecting frontend of my truck during Love Bug season in FL

Highly recommend it!

Hi Jack!

Raising this topic from the dead, I recently got an offer for specials at Chrome World for White Diamond products.

So, I Googled "best chrome polish" and found this article, as recent as 30Aug2011:
Top 8 Chrome Polish Reviews

Any feedback from the paint and chrome experts are always appreciated,
especially about this White Diamond product of which I'd never heard.

I use Mcquiers all metal motorcycle polish with a microfiber cloth. Yes, "all metal". Gets rid of any hayze and leaves a beautiful shine.

The plastic are softer, but the chrome on it is the same.
I'm cleaning all chrome parts on my bike with the same chrome cleaner for 2 years and it looks great.
