Wenol Metal Polish

If you own a motorcycle, you’ve probably come across an advertisement for Wenol at some time or another.  Fortunately, most

European motorcycles don’t have a lot of chrome or metal that needs polishing, but after a while, pipes and mufflers can start to look pretty sad, and almost every bike has a few bits and pieces of chrome or aluminum that get tarnished.  I’ve resisted the chore of cleaning the metal bits on my bikes for quite some time, so this was a good opportunity to try out this product.

The bad news is that there is no 21st century instant solution to polishing metal — unfortunately, it’s still a tedious chore.

The good news is that Wenol works.  The worst condition of tarnishing I could find was on a set of header pipes pictured on the bike below. I tried using another brand of metal polish I had laying around on for comparison, and the results were pretty lame.  The Wenol brought up a nice shine on the pipes, but you have to rub pretty hard to do it.  It’s nice to know that when I get the energy to attack all the metal bits on my bikes that Wenol is up to the challenge!
