I have said about Goddards cloth's before in a couple of polishing threads ;)
funny as i have just bought a couple more from sainsbury's today £2.25 each
they work very well in bringing up old chrome after a wash or peek
you can even try it on plastics - hard plastic work better as some time it warms up some softer plastics and spreads it a bit - but try it out on different plastics
for best results keep sealed in a bag after each use
happy polishing all ;)
some thing else you may like to try is TURTLE WAX ~ BUG & TAR
This has a degreaser built in and a polish to finish off
it's a white liquid that you can use a sponge to clean over chrome - all of the bike it you like
good points - it will clean off grease - polish up powder coat - clean white paint
things you have to watch out for - on decals if rubbed to hard it can rub them away - careful on any decals that are peeled up any where as it can some times get under them - wear gloves as it can degrease sensitive skin
go buy a bottle and try it out - make life easier 8)
cheers B ;)
