Simichrome + CCWs....
Someone posted this last week so I decided to try it. Man, let me tell you that simichrome on CCWs is absolutely insane. The shine is far superior to that of mothers polish. For anyone with CCWs I definitely recommend this. NO more mothers mag and aluminum polish for me...

Most bike shops carry it. I got a couple of smaller tubes for about 5 bucks each at Biker's Dream here in Atlanta. It's a cutom chopper shop which sucked because then I wanted to buy a chopper when I walked in and saw all the cool bikes they had. 
Killer Creek Harley nearby carries it too but they were out.
ET compared it to both. I have some Wenol I want to test it against next weekend.

I applied it by hand according to the instructions. It's virtually the same in it's application as Mother's but it's consistency is softer and creamier. You don't use very much.

Patches knows Im not as dumb as I look 
here is a testimonial for simichrome..
BTW I have been using this stuff since the late fifties.. we use to polish our corvette valve covers to a mirror finish with this stuff..
here is a nice comparison picture:
Note the mirror like finish inside the spoke at 12 o'clock.. note the reflection of the drilled holes and slots..
Then note the the finish inside the spoke at 5 o'clock , this was done with Mothers ...This picture made Patches a believer.

It also leaves a thin protective film that resists oxidation on metal. When I sanded the rear tail lamp, side marker and backup lenses to remove the DOT casting numbers this polish brought the finish up like glass.

Thanks all. I have been wondering what to use on my 505A's. I just put them on my Z about a month ago and I have to tell you they look great but they are tough to clean. I heard from other forum members that they were very happy with blue magic so I purchased and used the product. Frankly I was unempressed. It left a film on the wheels and it was difficult to get water spots out. Have often do you have to use the semi-chrome and do any of you clean inside the rim. It's really tough to get in there? Any other tips I need to know in using semi-chrome to keep the wheels looking like new?

How does this stuff work on polished wheels that have lost their shine?
I've got Centerline Hellcats on my truck that are a beatch to keep shiny, I was go to use Zymol but then I started to research and found out it doesn't last very long either.

i used to use it on all my show rides, and even when i polished out my sportbike frames. it is by far one of the best products out there- Mothers does not even come close. there is one other brand out there that is hard to find, but does a great job, too. the key is to use cotton diapers since they are so soft, and to finish with a good metal sealer. this will preven water spotting as quickly.
