100% correct. Clean chrome won't get any shinier by rubbing on it. Waste of time. Unless you have a stubborn stain, glass cleaner is about all you need.

I just ordered some of that and the sealer off ebay.

See how it works.

You can polish up the bottom of a soda can with Mothers, polishing compound, most scratch removers in a tube, and even fine enough sandpaper. It's doesn't take a miracle product to do that smoke and mirrors show put on by the metal gloss peddlers at swapmeets and bike show.

Former Mothers user here...now I use glass cleaner for the most part.

Mothers Chrome Polish works wonders on cloudy headlights though.

Smoke and Mirrors or not, they put out a great product. Here's a engine shot from a couple of weeks ago after polishing
