I use a suede brush on chrome. Brass wont scratch chrome & those things last a long time. Bristles are fine & close together & short enough to scrub a bit & not splay them out like road kill. Ive been using Ospho, its discontinued, but Jasco ( dilute phosphoric acid), same stuff, same bottle, different label & about 1/2 the price, Its $6.00 a quart & Ospho usually lasts me a coupla years.I expect this stuff will, too. A dot of stain on chrome about 1/8th" diameter usually has a tiny little spot, like a pin prick, in the middle of it, a quick buffing with the brush & a wipe of a Jasco dampened rag & Sweet Viola,,
For the spokes, after much pain & suffering I came to this. About a 2' piece of parachute cord, pull the core strings out, wrap it around a spoke one full turn & saw away. Of course, putting a polish on the spoke first is a really good idea. Done properly, the spoke will be too hot to touch &, while not exactly Chrome looking, they will be much nicer looking. I did notice that the leading edge of them simply would not come to a good luster, because the surfaces were pitted from hitting the dirt in the air.
