OK, can anyone recommend good chrome polish? I just tried Mothers, and man was it a waste of time. The only good I can say is it removed the little bit of brake dust I had. I`ve got light scratches on my wheels, and it didn`t touch it. You can see it in this pic.

If they`re chrome, you`re not getting any scratches out of it. If there is a clear coat over it, you can use ScratchX

Oxidation and stuff it will help. I just used mothers and it was awesome. They were 20 in rims on a denali by the way. The owner was very pleased.

I don`t know if it makes a difference, but they are very light. I would equate it to swirls in the paint.

Chrome is hard and thin..so you really can`t do much as far as repairing. Maybe one of the better swirl masking sealants or waxes could help.
I`ve been curious about chrome scratches for my bike and I haven`t seen any solutions on the Harley boards..mostly just `replace the part` solutions

You said it removed brake dust. Were they clean before you started. Ask the dealer if they are cleared. They look a little different than regular chrome, but I have been sitting here too long to.(LOL)

Yes they were clean. There was just a very small amount of brake dust in a couple corners that didn`t come out from washing.
