Chrome polish recos?
Given the plethora of chrome polishes out there AND the fact that I now own a Harley...how about some recos please.

SOS pads are softer than chrome. Great first step.

I have cleaned many chrome faucets with SOS and never hurt one. Only chrome though. Nickel or other do not. |

I've seen videos where they used balled up aluminum foil on chrome bumpers to remove rust deposits.
It works like a clay bar does on paint.
