What do you guys use for basic chrome care?
Well, after reading through the owner's manual and all the disclaimers about properly taking care of the bike to preserve it's appearance... I have to ask, what has everybody found to work well? I think triumph had some reccomendations about waht not to use.. but I can't remeber exactly at this time.
The garage that my bike sits in... sucks... for lack of a better term. It is an integral part of the house, but in the winter it is cold and damp, and in the summer, it is cool and damp. Plus inthe summer, whe nthe door is opened, the blast of hot moist air makse everything fog with condesation! It is a place where rust or oxidation will start to take hold very easily, and I have seen it happen on bare steel and aluminum with ease!
I notice that the chrome parts of my bike start to pick up a pattern, that at least I notice, that looks like pitting as it would set in if time were allowed. Especially on the parts that I assume are a "lower quality" of chrome (headlight ears, rear turn signal mounts) to start with. Cleaning takes this away, but what would be good as a precationary measure?
