+1 On what TOMMAY SAID. Semichrome Rocks for the final finnish. Don't use any harsh chemicals.
Let us know what you come up with. Don't panic you will get it looking good.
I third this...it will come clean....

Powder coat them and you will spend more time riding and less rubbing.

Never Dull works great. I used it on my Sportster before I traded it for my Fatbob. Does take a little rubbing though. Recommend doing on a rainy day with a 12 pack of Budweiser. 12 pack seems to make it work better for some reason!

agreed! powder coat it... my heads had the same thing... so i powdercoated them... here is the before, durring, and after... if the salt has eaten though the clear and got to the metal you can clean it up but it will just keep coming back...

I bought some Nevr Dull at lunch today, rushed over to the garage right after work and started rubbing. Only 2 beers into the job anditwas about 90% clean. Sounds like Mother's is a bit more aggressive? I may give it a try, butthe polished aluminum (thanks guys ) looks pretty good now. It's no garage queen, I bought it to ride it, but I still hateit when something is not right.

Many thanks to everyone for the help!

And Mr. Powdercoater, I checked your site and I really like the way they look in black powder coat. I may be sending them down to you next winter ...

Not trying to hijack, ...............but I kinda got a similar issue. ..when I removed the reflectors from my front forks my right fork kinda lost some of it's satin finish, it looks kinda shiny now. Any ideas on how to make look like stock again?
