I Am The Chrome King; The Real Way To Beat Rust On Chrome

Hey, everyone, I am new here. I just purchased an XS400 1978 over the weekend. I don't even have an MC License yet, but I am working on it. Anywho, I have been around cars my whole life and I wanted to get into a project bike. I picked up a garage find that had 500 original miles and sat for forty years. In my desire to bring her back to shine I started working on the chrome because it was in rough shape, with rust spots everywhere and I'll be honest as I was polishing away I was beginning to think that I was going to need a new front fender ($45 ish bucks on eBay). I used everything from Vinegar, to Turtle Wax, and nothing would make a serious dent in Chrome until I found a small backwoods article about using Aluminum Foil + Water to beat the chrome. I was really afraid it was going to scratch the S### out of my chrome but it was a lighter metal than Chrome so there was no scratching involved. I was willing to do anything at this point and honestly, the results speak for themselves. It reminded me of those old cleaning commercials in the early 2000s for lime-away. And this was the golden ticket for everything.

Aluminum Foil, Water, and Elbow Grease.
Then I polished it with a heavy Aluminum / Chrome Polish (Blue Magic)
and then a lighter Chrome Polish (Never Dull)

Could not be happier with my results and I'm on my way for this to be my show bike in no time.
