So what's solvol got to do with suede ?? nothing actually, i just thought it sounded good Anyway to get to my point... If you have ever encountered dull looking chrome on a bike, then SOMEtimes solvol can help. Othertimes, use of a soft wire brush is the order of the day followed by a side dish of solvol. To make my point, take a look at these two images of the light on my Shopper. BEFORE any work is carried out............... AFTER work has been carried out using nothing but solvol and 2 dusters (an old duster to apply the solvol and a new one for final buffing) This stuff ain't the "be all and end all" though and it's worth remembering that at times we must either bite the bullet and ring the chroming company or just fit direct replacements which lets face it, is most likely the cheaper option of the two !.

Alternatively you can decide it looks great as it is and save yourself the time, expense and trouble. ;D Each to their own, eh?

Is that a plastic light?
I usually wash the chrome or bare alloy parts in hot soapy water with a brillo pad. gets it nice and clean. And my fingers get clean to, for a while at least
