I use a powerball, a cheapo polishing kit from Harbor Freight for the tight areas and Wenol.

Use What a Shine, much better than mothers. They sell it online and at Trucking shops and some Harley shops, by far the best metal polish. I've tried them all, Mothers Billet polish, Meguiars Hot Rims, Blue Magic, The wadding polish, but What a Shine is by far the best. You know how those truck drivers and harley guys are about their chrome, aluminum and stainless Cool

"Your Can-Do polish is simply the best product of its kind I have ever used. The two cans ordered over a year ago have kept my R1100RT sparkling with a minimum of effort, and have also been used to touch up my four-wheel-drive truck and car, especially during the winter when it was impossible to clean them conventionally. I haven't used anything else to wax my vehicles since discovering Can-Do."
