This same topic was brought up on another forum I'm on. Here are some of the suggestions they had:

Prep-Sol - used to cut waxes and silicone off cars before you pain them
Pig Snot and a toothbrush
Dish Detergant, toothbrush and elbow grease
Omni brand cleaner MX190
S100
HD Engine Brightener
WD40 and a soft toothbrush


Hope one of these solutions work for you!

I use Armoral and a toothbrush/rag.......cleans up nicely and leaves the black looking brand new.

Why are you waxing chrome motor parts in the first place? They get plenty hot enough to evaporate the wax after the motor runs for a few minutes. All you need for chrome is glass cleaner and some chrome polish once in a while.

I found something that really works good. I bought it at my local HD dearler. It is called More Shine less time coating for Vinyl and plastic made by Stoner. A friend told me about it and I really did not think it would work. It works great. If you get some on your chrome all you have to do is wipe it off with a clean cloth. Try it.
