Also, if anyone would like to chime in on the pro/cons of waxing (even polishing in general) I'm listening.
I can think of only one possible con to waxing, Jethin. If the bike is ever destined to be painted, or even touched up, wax can be a bit tricky to remove. On this bike, since the chrome was already pretty clean and polished, I did rub the chrome socks on the fork with it but just to add a thin layer of wax. really didn't need it.
One other thing. Many bikes have clear coats. Vintage ones too. For some reason, this one wasn't, while my 75 Le Champion was. I found this stuff worked very well on that too, to remove a bit of the top, yellowing haze in the clear coat.
