S100 polishing soap works wonders in my opinion I used my dremel and got and brought back some old chrome on the ironhead

Many chrome shops use a product called Simichrome, as do many owners and restorers. I love the stuff.

Never Dull.But make sure it's very good chrome plated steel before trying it. Makes chrome look like new, then wax afterwards.
