Winter Chrome Protection
Just wondering what everyone does to protect their chrome parts on their scooters. I was thinkig of spraying the chrome with WD40. They say wax only traps moisture, causing rust. Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: Winter Chrome Protection
Don't know how it works but have heard Pam the cooking spray is a good protector for winter driving.
I put her up in a bag and don't drive myself.

Re: Winter Chrome Protection
This is another one of those don't get wrapped around the axle thing just clean as you normal would and let it . cover the bike with a light cover that can breath.
12 years old rode and stored in the Wisconsin winter nothing fancy done when it gets parked Just do not try to wash it if it gets near 32 degrees > it needs time for all the water to dry off

Re: Winter Chrome Protection
GM sell a quart size chrome cleaner/polish that I have use for several years. Seem's to work well. Guess it depends on if it's between rides or for over the winter storage. A rag dampened with rubbing alcohol works too. Cleans off any greasy gunk but don't use it on hot parts and be carefull around paint.

Re: Winter Chrome Protection
I spray the whole bike down with Amsoil MPHD, then wash it in the spring prior to riding. Works great for $7
