chrome pitting
03/15/10 at 17:09:38

Have 2009 S40, have not used it for the last two months because of cold and rain. Was stored in open garage, cleaned it up, lots of dust and noticed that the chrome appeared to be pitted is this normal with the S40. Appears that suzuki does not do a good job of chroming. Is there any product that I can use to restore to original luster. I love this bike and want it to look good. Started right up though and ran fine after two months of non use.
