Cleaning tarnish?
Hi guys, took the bike out of garage today and noticed a lot of what seems to be tarnish on much of the brushed aluminum and some of the chrome, i can get some of it off with some chrome polish but there are still many spots where it wont budge, its driving me nuts as you might imagine, the rag will have black build up after polishing these areas, any suggestions on what to use to get it all off? was thinking a mildly abrasive rubbing compound?
Note: I've enclosed a few pics that were taken after washing the bike twice and polishing the areas shown.

Yeah you really have to stay on top of them, especially during the winter when they are just sitting and your aren't really doing anything with them. There is a lot of condensation that still gets in a garage. I use Mothers Chrome Polish on mine but I clean my bike 1-2 times a week and dry it really good with a leaf blower so it doesn't get bad. The only place I have ever had this type of situation luckily has been on the sides on my rocker covers. I would like to find something better than Mothers as it isn't the quickest solution I'm sure.
